Sucks that this keeps happening. He was also the oldest living man ever.

Thoughts and prayers to the family.

How does he only have 14 great grandchildren ?

Once you hit like, 105 or so, wouldn't you ask one of your great-great grandchildren to do the right thing and hold a pillow over your face?

"Stay away, kid! I'm going for the record!"

Dang, I thought he was The One.

The aging population will create tremendous economic and social problems all over the world. Due to increased longevity and the aging of the baby boomers, the number of cases of Alzheimer's Disease in the USA is expected to grow from 5 million in 2013 to almost 14 million in 2050. Diminished mental capacity is but one cause of dependence in old age.

Geez, really makes you think...

Meh. More people for me to take advantage of.

 

[Homer J Simpson]

[Raider Nation]

Too old.

I've seen mummies that were more photogenic.

 

[SierraKiloBravo]

I thought the first picture was taken right after he passed. Nope.

That's what happen when you wipe out diseases. It merely increases the number who die of old age.

So people live longer when there are fewer diseases? Profound stuff here.

Worlds current oldest living man is a Newfoundlander. I lit the birthday candles for a 103 yr old last week. We couldn't sing, "we hope you live to be a 100" for years now.

Trends tend to die but this one has legs.

Methuselah lived until he was 969 years old.

 

[Dentist]

Sheesh, that would really throw my retirement projections off.

What was the quality of his last 13-16 years?

Methuselah? It was pretty good. He got hit by a car.

Vince Evans played quarterback for the Raiders until he was 800.

RIP

Not on my death pool team.

I think you'd get negative points.

you, by the way, are the worst death pool player I've ever seen. I'd kind of like you to pick me.

I have no idea why I think this is so funny.

Geez, really makes you think...

That might be my favorite post of the last 5 years.

Shouldnt we be getting like hourly updates?

The bad news just keeps coming tonight. :(

JACKSONVILLE, Ore. (AP) — Gary Ross Dahl, the creator of the wildly popular 1970s fad the Pet Rock, has died at age 78 in southern Oregon.

The smooth stones came packed in a cardboard box containing a tongue-in-cheek instruction pamphlet for "care and feeding." Dahl estimated he had sold 1.5 million of them at roughly $4 each by the time the fad fizzled.

This hit me like a ton of bricks.

 

[Dentist]

117... born in the 1800's.. jeez

I don't know about you guys, but I can't imagine that those last 10-15 years have to be pretty worthless, no?

I can't really imagine there is any value to living north of 100

 

[belljr]

I'm going to start a foundation to investigate these random deaths of our older population

 

[Rayderr]

I thought Obamacare was supposed to stop this sorta thing?

 

[Das Boot]

Any suspicion of foul play?

 

[lumpy19]

It happened again.

RIP

Her husband died in 1931

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Any suspicion of foul play?

Police are questioning 116 year old Gertrude Weaver from Arkansas.

Any suspicion of foul play?

It does seem to be an epidemic.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

In the words of a great Yogi: Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.

 

[Raider Nation]

Who would even want the title? It's a certain death sentence.

 

[gianmarco]

It happened again.

RIP

It happened again.

RIP

6 days with the record.

Now you have to consider foul play, right? Some centenarian serial killer?

I'd put a security detail on the new record holder.

In all seriousness, the oldest person now was born in May, 1899. This may be the last person alive born in the 1800's.

 

[gianmarco]

Who would even want the title? It's a certain death sentence.

So is birth.

 

[John Bender]

Jeez. What are the chances?

Hope I don't ever get to be the world's oldest person. Seems like that title is cursed

 

[sports_fan]

Median age of the world's population is around 26 or 27. Are you officially an old person once you pass that mark?

The thread title is a blond joke waiting to happen.

"That's so sad. But how'd he die twice?"

 

[Das Boot]

Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown.

 

[GregR]

You know he's pulling down some serious octogenarian talent. Probably get himself an 80 year old trophy wife.
