    Eat, drink, and be merry! -

    September 1, 2006 - Los Angeles - AP
    George Johnson, considered California's oldest living person
    at 112 and the state's last surviving World War I veteran,
    had experts shaking their heads over his junk food diet.

    "He had terrible bad habits. He had a diet largely of
    sausages and waffles," Dr. L. Stephen Coles, founder
    of the Gerontology Research Group at the University of
    California, Los Angeles, said Friday.

    The 5-foot-7, 140-pound Johnson died of pneumonia
    Wednesday at his Richmond home in Northern California.

    "A lot of people think or imagine that your good habits and
    bad habits contribute to your longevity," Coles said. "But
    we often find it is in the genes rather than lifestyle."

    He remained in good health and continued driving until
    he was 102, when his vision began to fail.

    Johnson, who was blind and living alone until his 110th
    birthday when a caregiver began helping him, built the
    Richmond house by hand in 1935. He got around using
    a walker in recent years.

    Johnson's wife died in 1992 at the age of 92.

        I like this story because seems everyone is out there with theories...and its really in your genetic history of how long you live not what you do...my uncle was a smoker, drinker, and ate what ever, fishing was considered exercise and lived to 100.

            112 years old.. hell.. that's a long time to be messing around in this world.. The only way I'd live to 112 is if I got cloned and my clone carries on after I go.. damn, the clone will be living for 62 years..lol

            All I need to do now if find someone t clone me.. every where I go they say: Another Carlos running around...????????

            NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

                Imma send CircusPet some DNA smaples and maybe he can clone little carlos's and take a picture holding them in his hands... It's the only way I'd look cute.
