Oldest human ever dies...longevity secret is..wait for it
Oldest human dies in Indonesia... at age 146.
Some fun facts,
A heavy smoker until the end
Secret to longevity is having people near who care and love
Outlived, 4 wives, 10 siblings, all his children, and presumebly all his dough

No, it's in the water he drinks.
An entrepreneur would bottle the local Indonesian water, and import it to the US.

Camels. Last I heard(1969) more doctors preferred Camels to any other brand.

In my youth, I smoked Camel occasionally, and it was always non-filter. Also non-filter 555, Dunhill, Lucky Strike, Pall Mall, etc... Filter cigarette was for wimps.

Snopes says NOPE. Maybe a naked man, but no naked women.

Evidently he didn't pass on the longevity genes to his children.

I dunno. Chesterfields had some pretty convincing proof that they were healthy.

^^^ The announcer for Cherterfield said "no adverse effects on nose, throat, sinuses after a 16-month study". He did not say anything about lungs.
You are better off sticking with the doctors' favorite: Camel.

That's what I used to smoke...Camels, unfiltered. Used to buy them in the PX when I was in the military for $1.20/carton.

If he hadn't smoked he probably would have lived to 150.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._oldest_people
The oldest anyone has ever been verified to have lived, was 122 years old, and even that was disputed. According to the link I gave, the oldest person right now is 116; I think 146 years old is a huge pile of BS. I keep track of this stuff to figure out what length of retirement to put into FIRECalc.
I know, I know.... the eternal optimist! 
But so far, so good. I can remember watching Eisenhower's (first term) inauguration parade on the TV at my pre-school while I was making a 4-year-old's idea of "art" out of clay. I think that officially makes me older than Methuselah.

Even Jeanne Calment's verified age is now being challenged I believe.
You might have to lower your denominator and up your WR%.

I only use 117 usually. Well, either that or 93. I like to try a lot of different possibilities.
