*Ø* Blogmanac | World's oldest man dies


Next time someone tells you milk is bad for your health, show them this:

"The world's oldest man has died, aged 114.

"Yukichi Chuganji died at his home, in southern Japan.

"According to his son, the 114-year-old's last words were 'thank you, it was good' - spoken after he had been given some apple juice.

"Mr Chuganji was born in 1889 and later worked as a silkworm breeder.

"He liked to drink milk everyday, but did not consume alcohol.

"He had five children, seven grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.

"Japan is also home to the world's oldest woman, 116-year-old Kamato Hongo.

"It is estimated that there are 20,000 people living in Japan who are 100 or older."
