'Longest Living Human' Says He Is Ready For Death At 145 (telegraph.co.uk)

Slashdot reader schwit1 quotes an article from The Telegraph: An Indonesian man who claims to be the longest living human in recorded history has described how he "just wants to die". Mbah Gotho, from Sragen in central Java, was born on December 31, 1870, according to the date of birth on his identity card. Now officials at the local record office say they have finally been able to confirm that remarkable date as genuine. If independently confirmed, the findings would make Mr Gotho a staggering 145 years old -- and the longest lived human in recorded history.
"One of Mr Gotho's grandsons said his grandfather has been preparing for his death ever since he was 122," according to the article. Though he lived long enough to meet his great-great grandchildren, he's already outlived four wives, all 10 of his brothers and sisters, and all of his children.

Obama is racist and is making the racial divide dramatically worse.
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have both committed treason; you have to go back to Aaron Burr to find a high government official so willing to destroy the government.
It appears that more than half of the country thinks that Hillary's crimes don't matter. That degree of widespread corruption in new.
