highdesert50 Posted June 13, 2013 #5 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Extraordinary in that he was so well equipped to sidestep many of the roadblocks that impede the elderly such as physical dependency and the behavioral dependencies imposed by society.

Timothy Posted June 13, 2013 #6 Share Posted June 13, 2013 "As the only man to have ever lived for 116 years - and the oldest man whose age has been fully authenticated - he has a truly special place in world history." That is until the next 'fully authenticated' person surpasses his age... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abhijit_b Posted June 13, 2013 #7 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Jiroemon Kimura was not just the oldest living human but also the oldest human being that ever lived. I don't believe that he is the oldest human being ever lived!

+and-then Posted June 13, 2013 #10 Share Posted June 13, 2013 He was 6 when the boys flew at Kitty Hawk. 15 when the Titanic sank and 72 when man landed on the moon.

White Crane Feather Posted June 14, 2013 #12 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Is there anyone from the 1800s left alive? If change ocures as rapidly as it did imagine a 100 years from now. I would love to live in a time where we take complete concious control of our biology. Life spans as long as you want. Time to learn and Osborb incredible amounts of knowledge.

Sundew Posted June 25, 2013 #17 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Absolutely no reason to pedantically step on people. Sadly there are people that the merest hint of religion expression (i.e. "blessed") causes offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
