Born in 1870? That's incredibly hard to believe.
Just insane. |

I don't envy the gent. Outliving my children would push me over the edge.

I cannot believe this. More than 20 years older than the previous record holder? What makes his body different?

Well, he claims to be a 145, he could be 87 for all we know.

He is said to have official documentation - how good any country's system of bureaucratic records was in the late 1800s is anybody's guess. Some better than others probably and it would depend upon whether you lived in the city or provinces.
146 seems very unlikely and I tend to think he was born in 1970 and has just had a hard life - like Paul.

That's insane.
My paternal and maternal grandparents are well into their 90s and still kicking. But 145 is just crazy. |

I don't believe that this guy is 145, but I do believe that the first person who will be 150 is alive today. It is inevitable with technological/medical advancements.
