OK, I dare anyone to tell me that one of their grandparents was born earlier than mine! My Grandfather was born in Syria (now a part of Lebanon) way back in 1889! He passed away in 1969, when I was only four years old. My Grandmother was born in 1915, so she was much younger than he. The really crazy thing is, that I have a step-great grandmother who is only in her late 60's! I have no idea when my Great Grandfather was born. :wacko:

I don't know the DOB of either one of my parents, but I know that my grandfather to my father died in 1981 (natural causes), so he was prolly born around 1900...he witnessed WWI, II, Korea, Vietnam, the Egyptian revolution in 1919, the 1948 war between Israel and the Arabs, the Israeli invasion of Sinai in Egypt and the Yom Kippur war when Sinai was retreived so basically he lived a very....eventful life

Well, let's face it. We are in the year 2005 and the chances of a 19th century man still stand on earth not buried deep underground or burnt is VERY UNLIKELY. My grandad is around 96 years now and he's alive and healthy. Guys, let's cherish our grandparents before they leave, can we?

There are plenty of people that are over 105 years old. In fact, on the Today show when they do the birthdays daily, there is usually at least one a day.
