Whoa.

posted by on August 22 at 13:35 PM

This guy, at 90, is possibly the world’s oldest father. His fourth wife (who used to be married to his eldest son, but he died (!!)) just gave birth to his (possibly) 21st child. He attributes his longevity to eating plenty of meat, and says he’d like to keep having children until he’s 100, “then maybe I will stop.” Magic sperm!!

Kid looks NOTHING like him.


Headline: "90 year old has wife who still bones; cares for her children"

That kid looks totally freaked out. Understandable.

Uh, how does any of that make him the world's oldest father?

Monkey,

The kid's expression could just as easily be attributable to having a camera stuck in its face.

I'll bet the "when I was your age" arguments are going to be choice!

Now, pass me another of those Ribeyes!

90 years and only 21 children? That's only like one every four years. That's hardly impressive.

I'm sure they'll have a grand time playing catch together.

Yeah, @9, but he didn't start when he was a toddler.

or, much more likely, the mother won't say who else she's sleeping with.

Former Arkansas rep. Jim Bob Duggar could have about 60* kids at that age if he continues at his current rate, although Lord knows how is wifes uterus is even still intact now.

* His oldest is 19, and dad is 42, so that's 17 kids approx every 20 years, off the top of my head. I don't care if I'm doing the math wrong, this is SLOG, and I'm probably close enough.

@14 - how many are serving in Iraq?

Bunch of jealous - low sperm count - low libido pink blooded urbanites.

Go for it. Reproductive freedom is good politics.

And, after all the bad taste remarks, that you would be sexual and functioning at 90 should be a universal male wish ... queer or straight.

Still fees very good, I bet. Hope to find out, will report back.

I'm with #1. Is he sure?

The woman who had the baby is his wife. So technically he is the father. To say otherwise may mean big problems for the wife, the husband and the biological father.

What's gross is the mental image of this 90 year old coot having sex with any woman of child-bearing age. *shudders*

@3 BINGO! "world's oldest father of a newborn," not "world's oldest father." sorry...

Does anyone else think it would be weird to have been created from sperm that old??? I'm all for old people having sex, but...um...yeah...whatever.

Title should read "World's Oldest Man to Claim Fatherhood".

to the young coot - #19

You think his hard dick inside her in the middle of the night feel differently than yours might?

Are you really so silly?

What is even worse is the image of this old coot taking a dump, eating soup or picking his nose.

All functions when performed by youth are things of beauty .. ya, sure.

You should live so long - WE ALL SHOULD LIVE SO LONG - and without a dried up dick.

If it's true, he may also hold the title for worlds oldest boner.

#23, where are you from? Just curious, it's hard to tell accents from writing...
