I want to live forever !!!!

"I want to live forever. I don't want to die”. Well, that's the spirit ! With that, Tomoji Tanabe (田鍋友時) celebrated his 112th birthday on September 18th 2007. Tanabe, who was born in 1895, is currently the World's oldest living man.

He assumed the title of oldest living man after the death of 115 years old Emiliano Mercado Del Toro on January 24, 2007. What is his secret for longivity ? He eat vegetables and drink milk daily, but NO ALCOHOL ! He keeps a diary, read newspaper everyday, and take daily stroll around the neighbourhood.

So, if you want to live a healthy and long life, take it from this Japanese man, NO ALCOHOL !! By the way, is sake consider alcohol ?

Tanabe-san, Happy Birthday ! You have outlived King George VI ! May you live another 100 years.........

World’s greatest nose job !

The Chinese are at it again !

“..Stunt performer Wang Chuntai pulls four people in a minicar with a rope attached to his nose on a street in Haikou, South China's Hainan Province, September 13, 2007. He pulled the car nearly 10 meters in 10 seconds. “

With a decade of economic success, the Chinese are seemed to be quite pre-occupied with the strongest, the longest, the tallest, etc. It does remind me of our past decade of Malaysia Bolihism. Well, what have we achieved ? Nothing. But I do get the funny feelings that we are like clowns trying to entertain the world.

Well, what else are the Chinese not capable of ? With more than 1.3 billion people, some of them are bound to be extraordinary. So, don’t underestimate the Chinese. They are good !

World's longest tongue

I am always fascinated with the extremities of the world. For example, I know, the world shortest man is He Ping Ping of Mongolia. The world tallest man is Xi Shun, also from Mongolia. The world tallest woman is Yao Defen. The list goes on and on.....

Now, who has the longest tongue is the world. According to Guinness World Records, the honours goes to Stephen Taylor of Italy with a measurement of 9.5CM. For the female category, Annika Irmler from Germany holds the record with her tongue measuring at 7CM long.



I do wonder, what is the purpose and advantages of having a long tongue ? wink... wink...
