Old man, I salute you.

Let us take a moment to tip our hats to Emiliano Mercado del Toro.

On Monday del Toro celebrated his 115th birthday and is now recognised by the Guinness Book of Records as the world's oldest living man.

Asked about his remarkable longevity, del Toro credited it to healthy eating and avoiding alcohol. He told guests at his 115th birthday party that he had "never damaged his body with liquor."

Family members also believe his decision to kick a 76 year habit and quit smoking at the age of 90 to be a contributing factor.

Healthy eating and avoiding alcohol? Oldmate smoked for 76 years!!!

115 years old. Pumped the darts for 76 years. Fit as a fucking fiddle. I had never even heard of this guy until yesterday but for some reason I feel incredibly proud of him. Go hard old man. Keep kicking.
