The Amazing Story behind the 256 Year-Old Man

Suprised he didn't commit suicide by the time he was 200 because I'm sure he would of been fed up of life.

Thats very long.

Its impossible to live that long. Its not real.

Wow, I don't know if I would want to live that long.. But he must have had lots of stories to tell.

There are no birth records provided therefore, in my opinion, he wasn't 256.

Also no-one. That we know of, has lived past 125 so I don't believe it .. AT ALL

doubt it, it would have been on the news loads. & in that picture he's clearly only bout 80 or something, or else he wouldn't have been able to stand probably!! & they would have had loads of up-to-date pictures n fings.

You cant live till that age :S

Well he obviously wasn't 256 or anywhere near that age.

its impossible today anyway. the natural life expectancy, as in without modern medicine etc, is in the early 30's, and people have lived four times as long as that. but this is out there. 256 is more than twice as much as anyone else ever recorded. and this article is really iffy.
