Oldest man in the world has another birthday

Man turns 114 years old

Walter Breuning is the oldest living man in the world.  He just had his 114th birthday.  Walter was born in 1896, his life has spanned 3 centuries.  His wife died in 1957 and they had no children.  Walter lives in a retirement home where he has many visitors on a daily basis.

This is truly a pretty amazing story.  I couldn't imagine living that long, especially without children.  I bet that he has pretty much out lived everyone of his family and friends.  I almost think that maybe living that long would be more of a curse.  He says that to secret to his longevity is whiskey, cigarettes, and wild women.  Overall this is a pretty amazing story.
