Amazing he has smoked for the average life of a normal person. Lucky he gave up the bungers.

"I never damaged my body with liquor," said Mercado, who quit a 76-year smoking habit when he was 90."

The best thing is that not only is he 115, he still seems relatively healthy. It's a pretty incredible age when you realise that if you probably expect to die about 75, well this adds another whole 40 years to your life. If those are spent in relative comfort and happiness, you'd have to be pretty happy with that.

would you really want to live that long? God, he was born the same year as my grandmother, 1891

Thats unbelievable when you think about it like that. 1891
Tell you what, you would have seen a few players go around.
Imagine if Nicks went 100 years and you had someone telling stories for that long.
Just read what ive wrote and this is way to open for Hal.

I would. If the standard of living was good...

if this life is all we've got, I want it to last as long as possible.

Ugh, I'd hate to live to that age. Would be pretty cool though to see how the world has evolved over that amount of time though. I'd like that.

I never want to grow up Very Happy

I heard the oldest ever living person (Jeanne Calmert of France) smoked untill she was 117, and she stopped only because she was too blind to light the cigarette herself!

It would be amazing to live that long...as long as you had basic bodily function; I'd hate to be a vegetable.
