[Tidbit] Indian farmer claims to be ‘world’s oldest dad at 94’

A farmer in India claims he is the world’s oldest dad at age 94.

Ramajit Reghave of Kharkhoda village in Harayana claims that his wife Shakuntala, 59, gave birth to a son a month ago.

According to the Sun, Dr. Paramjeet Singh, chief medical officer at the Kharkhoda civil hospital said, “It was a normal delivery and the baby is quite healthy and fine.”

Raghave, who used to be a wrestler, claims that secret to eternal youth is a diet of three liters of milk, half a kilo of almonds and half a kilo of butter.

The couple describes the boy as a gift from the Hindu god Shiva and aren’t ruling out having more. 


110-year-old Malaysian man marries 82-year-old 

A lucky man aged 110 has found a wife willing to take care of him, Ahmad Mohamad Isa told Malay-language newspaper Utusan Malaysia earlier last week.

“It doesn’t matter who she is, as long as she can cook for me,” Ahmad told the paper. “It is lonely to live alone and I am afraid to sleep alone. If I have a wife she can take care of me,” he said in an interview, as reported by the Daily Telegraph.

The report grabbed the attention of 82-year-old Sanah Ahmad, a widow of 30 years and mother of nine, who said her new husband bears a resemblance to her late husband, and both men shared the same.

Sanah will be Ahmad’s sixth wife, as four of his previous wives have died and he divorced the fifth.
