    Worlds oldest man dies

    World's oldest man dies at the age of 138.

    I'm only reporting this for edification purposes, not saying it's true. He doesn't look a day over 125 to me.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worl...s-age-138.html

    - He has received a pension since 1938
    - Has outlived his wife by 70 years
    - Was probably too old to fight in the 2nd (of three) World War, what with being a pensioner when it broke out
    - Was probably probably pretty healthy into old age since penicillin still hadn't even been discovered

    Yes, yes. But how much was his house worth in his will - the readers demand an answer?

        Not only did his Birth Certificate say he was born in 1870, it also says he had an MCSE in Windows 2000 and a Masters in Computer Science.

          If the oldest man in the world has died, does that mean there is no longer an oldest man in the world.

            The world's oldest man never dies, because as soon as he's no longer alive, someone else becomes the oldest man alive.

              I was hoping someone would point this out...

              It's really more about the second oldest man being promoted...
