World's Oldest Man Dies at 114 in Spain

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">MADRID (Reuters) - A retired Spanish shoemaker who was officially the world's oldest man has died at his home at the age of 114, his family said on Saturday. </font>


It must kind of suck to live that long, considering all of your friends would have already died and you're so old even your kids might be dead.

So? Just make new friends and try remarrying to have more kids. Or just get to know your grandkids better in their waning years.

Ummm... you would THINK it would get boring, but as your time comes to die will you really say "YAY CAN'T WAIT TO DIE!" ??? Chances are you won't really want to die but you'll know it's inevitable so you might not think as down on it as you might in your late 60's or so.

That's why its gotta stink to be the oldest person on earth. You die. And usually quickly.

No, Methuselah died before the flood.

WHy do you think he lived so long to begin with? I mean, his name literally means "when he dies, it will come"... If you knew someone with that name, dont you think youd make bloody sure he didnt die? Dont you think his every wim was taken care of, his every desire fulfilled? He problably never had to work a day in his life. Noone wanted to find out what IT was...

But GBK, who knows? Maybe 'it' would be good! That's why if you ever run into one of these fellows, you should prolong his life only for the arithmetic mean of the possible years he can live. That way, if it is something good, you'll get it sooner than you might otherwise, and if it's something bad, you will have delayed it. Sometimes I amaze even myself.
