They don't make them like they used to. But seriously, this is unbelievable.
Let me guess... His name is Niklaus? They don't make them like they used to. But seriously, this is unbelievable.

Jose Aguinelo dos Santos was born on July 7 1888, just two months after slavery was abolished in Brazil - the last country in the world to outlaw the trade.
1906: China formally abolishes slavery effective 31 January 1910,
1912: Siam (Thailand), formally abolishes all slavery.
1921: Nepal abolishes slavery.[66][67]
.......
I start doubting the numbers in that article.
The type of slavery practiced in Siam and Nepal is much different than what was once practiced in the Middle East, Europe and the Americas. It is mostly of the ritual type slavery. Or it is of the bonded labor type, which still exists today.
BTW.... Amazon Indians were held slaves in remote parts of Brazil as late as the 1990s. One notable example is that of Rita, the last member of the Piripikura tribe.
The younger you start smoking more likely is for you to have health problems on your heart,cancer to your lungs etc.Also on the quote says ''despite smoking a packet of cigarettes a day for the last 50 years.'' that means he started smoking after his 70 so i guess he had a healthy life before he started smoking.But smoking causes early ageing so what he says can be bullsheet.
Well that one hack of a age if you ask me i'd like to live like 90 years and nothing more. But even 90 years is more than expected for me 
. I think 126 is real, or it could be, but i don't really believe that he smoked for the last 60 or 70 years maybe he did for 10 years now since he got worried he won't die.

Nice! Since I smoke 2 packs a day... I should make it to 252 years at least. 
I quit smoking 5 years ago. Maybe I should pick them back up.
Not sure he should be considered officially the worlds oldest person without some actual documentation. People can memorize facts about places and there is no absolute way to authenticate this apparently.

We don't know if that his real age. I know a man in my town, he looks the oldest on our town. I asked him what is your secret. He tells me he smoke two packs of cigarette a day, he drink hard liquor almost everyday, he fuck as many prostitute as he can everyday. He also tried as many drugs he can fine. I ask him if how old he was, I was amazed by his answer his age is 46 years old.
Why you have to take it out on prostitutes isn't very fair considering they're just trying to put in an honest day's work and all. Yeah, I get it. That was a good laugh riot.

I thought Jeanne Calment was the only person to reach 120 years:
Interestingly, she was a smoker too:
She died aged 122:
Quote from: Wikipedia
She is also the only person verified to have lived for 120 or more years. The person who came closest to this age was Sarah Knauss of the United States, reaching 119 years, 97 days on her death on 30 December 1999.
Interestingly, she was a smoker too:
Quote from: Wikipedia
Calment smoked from the age of 21 (1896) to 117 (1992), though according to an unspecified source, she smoked no more than two cigarettes per day towards the end of her life.
She died aged 122:
Quote
On 4 August 1997, at 22:45 Central European Time, Calment died, aged 122. After her death, 116-year-old Marie-Louise Meilleur became the oldest recognized living person.

A Brazilian man whose parents were African slaves could be the oldest living person ever documented after receiving a birth cerficate showing he turned 126 last week, it was reported on Tuesday.
Jose Aguinelo dos Santos was born on July 7 1888, just two months after slavery was abolished in Brazil - the last country in the world to outlaw the trade.
Yet the batchelor, who never married or had children, still walks without a stick, eats four meals a day and has no health problems - despite smoking a packet of cigarettes a day for the last 50 years.
Jose - known simply as Ze - was 26 when World War I broke out, and already a pensioner at 65 when Queen Elizabeth II ascended to the British throne.
He was 52 when Brazil football legend Pele was born - and 62 when Brazil last hosted the World Cup, in 1950.
One of five children, Jose was born in a slave compound in the town of Pedra Branca in the state of Ceara, northeast Brazil.
He was among hundreds of slave families who continued to live there, even after being granted their freedom.
He later travelled south to the state of Sao Paulo, where he spent most of his life working on a coffee plantation in the town of Bauru.
Now a resident of an old people's home in the same town, Jose likes to tell jokes and sing, hates having a bath, and never misses his daily plate of rice and beans.
And he told Brazil's G1 website there is no secret to living a long life: "The truth is that you just keep getting older. You take each stage at a time.
"If I got to this age it's because I've lived a lot, that's all."
Mariana Silva, psychologist at the Vila Vicentina home, said Jose has no health problems and is so lucid he still amuses other residents by cracking one-liners.
She said: "He's one of our most with-it residents.
"He doesn't have high cholesterol, diabetes or high blood pressure. The only medicine he takes are vitamins and a tablet to give him an appetite, which you can lose with old age.
"When he's on his own he likes to sing. None of us know the songs he sings. They're from a time no-one else remembers.
"He doesn't like to take a bath every day and it's sometimes impossible to get him to the shower. When he puts his foot down, that's it. No-one can get him in there."
Jose, who arrived at the home in 2001, received his birth certificate last month after living his entire life without any documents.
A team of experts arrived on his birth date after researching his past and interviewing him about his earliest memories, during which he was able to describe the slave compound perfectly.
The old people's home now hopes to provide conclusive evidence that he is the world's oldest man through 'Carbon-14' dating.
Jose Roberto Pires, the president of the retirement home, said they are determined to do the test even though it costs around £13,000.
But he added: "We are trying to find a way to do it without having to pay. This is very important. We believe the world's oldest ever person is living here with us, and this is the only way we can really prove it."
