it’s a good story… but so far nobody has been able to prove that he’s actually 101. journalists have been denied his birth certificate. my guess is he’s in his early 70s.

he wants attention. instead let’s focus on these folks, who are truly impressive: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2008/04/07/nmaasai107.xml
