No Way This Guy is 101

That sounds about right, sam w. 65. And an unwrinkled, sprightly 65 at that. I'll take the over by a little and say 70. I think we're in the right ballpark, though.

prefan, you need more proof? Well you can either hire a private investigator to go through his last 101 years of documentations or stick to your own assumptions that I'm sure are far superior to anything anyone else could possibly provide.

Had you made it to Oz, (and not been eaten by flying monkeys) when the Wiz said "don't look at that man behind the curtain" you would have listened.

Thank goodness Toto had the balls to look. Too bad you don't have the wisdom and common sense the good Lord gave a dog.

A man with no 1st name, no birth certificate, who claims to be 101, has a PR guy to get him publicity, claims to have 17 kids, claims to have been married at 13 or 14, claims he was kicked out of an orphanage because he "ate too much" and wants you to recognize him as the oldest person to run a marathon, all without any proof and you say "sure, sounds reasonable to me."

Just out of curiosity, are you still looking for those weapons of mass destruction?

I can't believe anybody is buying this guy's act. He might be 70. He also claims that he's been smoking since he was 7. Check out this interview when he turned *100*...

ya, i'd like to see some documentation. there's something a bit fishy about this.

Punk'd!

I get a kick out of you guys. You're really too easy. If you're so smart how come you haven't figured out that I've been f***ing with you guys?

how long is the london marathon course kept open?

this guy ran a 1/2 marathon, according to wikipedia, in over FIVE HOURS. if he maintains that pace he will take about TEN and a half hours to run london.

I never said I was smart, Yep. I just said this guy wasn't 101. If you get your jollies trolling, then fine. Maybe I was gullible enough to fall for that, but I'm not gullible enough to believe Buster is 101.

we have seen your posts on other threads. frankly, you just dont seem that smart.

you gotta admit, sometimes it is hard to tell when the dumb kid is just acting dumb, or being himself.

His coach has been posting on this site - someone has asked

Where are his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren? Nobody seems to have been at the finishing line at the Roding Valley half marathon. His coach has yet to reply.

Yep is an imbecile.

Here's a real man that set real world records over the age of 100.

Thanks for the laugh guys. Just doing my part. LetsRun's not just a running site. It's an adventure.

On a serious note. What really tipped you guys off to this guy? Was it the fact that after how alert and energetic he is he can't pick up the f***ing phone to call his niece and say mail a copy of that damn birth certificate down here? And don't kid yourselves. the media knows he's full of shit too. They love playing along just waiting for this guy to be exposed.

I think you might be even dumberer when you are trying to be smart.

He are the media waiting for to "expose" this guy? Usually the media thinks it is kind of cool to actually do the exposing.

It is the sort of thing that sells papers.

You're giving Yep too much credit for being clever.An imbecile is a retarded person mentally equal to a child between three and eight years old.

Yes, everyone knows CNN goes out of their way to interview a fraud and a phony. Maybe it would have been a better story if they had waited until Tuesday April 1st. Maybe they can have a follow-up press conference that day.

he's a fraud. his beard has some brown in it. what old man do you know who still has pigment anywhere on his body?

"Buster" is running for a children's charity, so I think some of the media guys might be playing along.

I did a google search on this story, and it seems that they are all pretty much the same- just different sites picking up the same story and repackaging it without questioning it.

I've also seen this story turn up on other forums, and the usual response is "isn't that terrific!". People like the idea of it so they are quick to believe it.

Personally, I think ol' Buster should get a good wire brushing.

You people seriously need to stop thinking everything is a conspiracy. Especially over stuff like this and HGH. I take it you think this guy's a fraud too since he looks younger? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuWkMlCNoKg&feature=related

If he claims he's going to run a marathon, I'll start having my doubts.
