A 93-year-old Irish man is so fit that he's become the subject of a case study — and for those who aren't exercising regularly, take hope: he didn't start working out until he was in his 70s. (futurism.com)

Cases like this are interesting, but likely a genetic fluke. It's not like anyone can do what he does and get the same result.

I had a great uncle that split 94 fence posts on his 94th birthday, because his kids mentioned it might be time to leave the farm and go to a retirement home.

Dude smoked a pack a day and drank a fifth of whiskey.

He just won the generic lottery and was a picture of good health till he died one night in his sleep.

I'm not going to start smoking a pack a day and drinking a fifth if whiskey because I think it'll keep me healthy tho.

40 minutes on a rowing machine would help most people, but virtually no one will see these results.

If that's all it takes then I'm as healthy as a person can be.

Who knew the secret to a long life was being a chain smoker and a raging alcoholic.
