    Ah, the wonderful prevailing argument sweeping the internet the last few years: “that looks like something else, so it must be that. Let’s disregard sources and science. Everything must be what it looks like.”

      People lie about their age all the time. There’s been many elderly people with badly documented births who fudged the numbers and added a decade or five to their age.

      Unless there’s good documentation, be skeptical of extreme longevity claims.

        Did you even read the article? There is good documentation. Man you keyboard ninjas need to spend less time in the dojo and more time in the library.

        Bobi’s grand old age was validated by the Portuguese government’s pet database, which is managed by the National Union of Veterinarians.

          How susceptible to bribes do you reckon the Portuguese National Union of Veterinarians could be?

            Moronic comment made by a moron. Glad to see the bottom of the barrel is still trying. Failing, but trying. Good effort mate.

                lol. The language you chose proves you’re a moron. I suspect that you know you’re actually a moron. That’s why my comment cut so deep. You can’t buy brain cells but you can read more. There’s still a chance for you little dunce :)
