179 years old man found in
India says “Death has forgotten
me”
.
A retired cobbler from northern India, Mahashta Mûrasi,
claims he was born in January 1835, making him not only
the oldest man on earth, but the oldest to have ever
lived, according to the Guiness World Records.
According to indian officials, the man was born at home
in the city of Bangalore on January 6th 1835, and is
recorded to have lived in Vârânasî since 1903. He worked
as a cobbler in the city until 1957, when he retired at the
already venerable age of 122.
“I have been alive so long, that my great grand-children
have been dead for years” explains Mr Mûrasi. “Somehow
death forgot about me… And now there’s hardly any hope
left. Look at the statistics, nobody dies past 150, even less
at 170. At that point, I guess I’m immortal or something. I
might as well enjoy it!”
The man’s birth certificate and identity cards all seem to
confirm his version, but unfortunately no medical
examination can confirm his saying for now. The last
doctor Mister Mûrasi visited died in 1971, so there is little
information available about his previous medical files.

OMG!!!
