Check yourself with the ultimate party wingman: BACtrack Trace Pro Breathalyzer

As far as we know! Prehistoric Man had about 200 undocumented millennia to beat that record without us ever knowing.
Prehistoric man would have died of dental problems before getting anywhere close to 116.
Prehistoric Woman probably outlived Prehistoric Man
Don’t be silly. Vandal Savage is only 50,000 years old.
Whatever, Noah died at 350. The Bible doesn’t lie.
And 350 moon cycles is a long, long time!
Killjoy.
And Methuselah lived to 969!
Came here to quote the Old Testament. Was not disappointed.
Only 31 yrs and he could’ve been the first “Millennial.” To quote Smart, “Missed it be THAT much!”
Oldest man ‘ever’: entirely likely but unprovable.
Great catch guys! You’re doing God’s work.
I wonder who the oldest man who never lived was…
I wonder if he died without regret.
Why does this keep happening?! Why isn’t someone doing something to stop this??
Why all this brouhaha over the passing of Jiroemon Kimura? There are still 21 living humans who were born in the 19th century. They just don’t have penises.
Yes, but “world’s oldest penis dies” would be inappropriate for family-oriented media.
When did BoingBoing become family oriented? Occasionally family interested, but never family oriented.
Snap. Snap.
In case you are wondering: how often does it happen that the oldest person alive dies? For the answer, see: http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/349155/how-often-does-it-happen-that-the-oldest-person-alive-dies
One more down… billions more to go, then I’m totally there..
Again?
Does anyone know who to get in touch with to add to the “oldest” list? I have a relative who supposedly lived to 117. http://www.johnshepherdfamily.com/jshep.php
Sadly, he was known to prefer older women…
