Oldest Man In The World Turns 113!
Filed under: Etc.
The oldest man in the world is celebrating his 113th birthday today.
Damn! That's a lot of years!
And, Tomoji Tanabe of Miyakonojo in southern Japan says he wants to live ten more years! He intends to do this by continuing to eat mostly vegetables and to indulge in his favorite - fried shrimp - only occasionally.
He believes the key to longevity is a life of sobriety. That's right, no alcohol.
That doesn't bode well for our fave Hallywood shIt Girls!
The local mayor presented Tanabe with flowers and a giant tea cup glazed with his name and date of birth as a gift. Arigato!
Happy Birthday! And many many more!

Re: secondcoming – hahah I like how you say "only 111" lol
God, ever think its an old picture.
And it's spelled arigatou, the u is silent though.
Amazing.
I guess I'll stop both drinking and smoking to try to live as long as this man.
Re: Irenic – Happy birthday!!! And in response to all the comments about the cake: It's obviously an older picture of the man since it says "111" on it–duh!
