Respect to the man, he smokes alot, drinks whiskey etc and still is alive. Not only is he 109 but he is moving and living an ok life, he isn't a zombie in a chair or something.
Hope you guys enjoy this clip.
"Richard Overton, America's oldest veteran. Born on May 11, 1906, he has celebrated 110 birthdays (109 at the time of filming) and counting. The supercentenarian has lived through the Great Depression, served in World War II, and witnessed the rise of the Internet. From the Ford Model T to self-driving cars, more technological and scientific progress have occurred in Overton's lifetime than perhaps any other century in history."

Especially considering if he brushes and uses some mouthwash it'd be the same as anyone else. Originally Posted by metadox

Seems like an excellent dude. I'd love to hear about his childhood & teenage years. What a time to live through.

So he could've talked to people who were slaves, I wonder if he did. Slaves were freed when? 1865? At least in the South. So that's 35 years + 6 is 41 years... Sure he could've talked to some old people who were slaves when they were young.

What a life. And he lived long enough to see a mixed-race POTUS.

There is scientific evidence that people who believe "bad" food will damage their bodies are actually more likely to suffer health conditions from bad food. People who think its a bunch of BS and just eat bad food and don't think its bad for them tend to have about the same rate of health disease as people who eat healthy. A lot of it actually appears to be in your head. How much were not sure. The brain is a bizarre thing. Originally Posted by Phookah

"helper builds" with loom powers - talent trees so elite players cast buffs on low level players XP gain, HP/mana, regen, damage, etc. 3. "helper ilvl" scoring how much you help others. 4. observer games like in SC to watch/chat (like twitch but with MORE DETAILS & inside the wow UI) 5. guild leagues to compete with rival guilds for progression (with observer mode).6. jackpot world mobs.

Haha, no my friend. No it would not. Old people smell like corpse out of the mouth. And he's very old and smoking cigars, so probably smells like a whole bunch of corpses. Originally Posted by alturic

Is it the stories, or because they're super old? Originally Posted by Logwyn

More than likely being old. Not a direct causation. Originally Posted by Ripster42

Always great to see stories of people like this. Genetics are of course the primary reason some people live so long. But there are other keys too and this guy seems to practice them.
