Omg. When the stars fell!? That is some badass Star Trek time keeping.

They hadn't invented Oil of Olay yet......

From the looks of it, he pickled himself from the inside out with illegal swill.

He was a stone man from Valeria. Turns out Game of Thrones is real life history!

This guy might've outlived his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren

I wonder if you can measure age by someone's nose and ears... like the lines in a tree stump.

Is this what the old folks mean about getting shit faced?

Damn, those wrinkles kinda freak me out a bit.

Is his dork made out of orange rock like the rest of him?
TheMightyMoto
Neat. Wonder how old he really was.
ThrowawayHBS
His tribe's calendar was "reset" during a famous meteor shower in 1833, and a friend claimed that the Chief was ~10 years old at the time.
ThrowawayHBS
Government records and witnesses place his age at somewhere between 88 and 100, from what I've read

The Thing took the failure of the two Fantastic Four movies really badly.

YOU TAKE THAT BACK, THE INCREDIBLES WAS AN AMAZING MOVIE.
XXXassclown
Three failures by my count.
aRepost
Which one are you counting as a success?
SJohnson23
First one got a sequel - surely it had to be at least a moderate success?
aRepost
When you say "first one", I'm assuming you mean the 2005 one, not the 1994 abomination.
XXXassclown
I was unaware of a 4th movie that has never been released, so by my count still 3.
SJohnson23
Indeed.

Make it four. One unreleased, two in the early 2000 and the new one.

My grandpa is in his 90s and he has barely changed in 50 years.

Not as big as Gavin's.

That's from being a parent. Everytime we have to tell our kids to do something (for the third freaking time!) our neck shrinks and veins bug

For some reason I read "Jehovah's witnesses" and was like "huh, I didn't know they tracked those types of things"
TheDrunkenWrench
Hayflick limit theorizes this to be impossible. 127 years I believe is our rough hard cap before cell division ceases

Dang! That's awesome! Thanks @OP

But he said he was like 10 years old when the "stars fell" in 1833, so why do they still use the wrong year?
Threewisemen
We studied this a bit in college. Most Indian tribes had a fair amount of inbreeding which could have resulted with some strange things. 1/2

like what?

So incest is one step closer to a longer life span? Got it.

Well, none of her kids lived very long!
Zreen
Well, I mean, spoilers in reply but...
Zreen
...their children's lives were a bit short.
Threewisemen
2/2 Like someone who lives abnormally long. Many gentic diseases can also show up though.
myusernameisntfunny
Yeah. That explains it. Although breeding within a tribe was considered wrong. Really, very wrong. I know this because you found the native
Threewisemen
I'm going to go out on a limb and trust the prof with a PhD in Genetics knowledge over the online guy who claims to be native.
nanyatenyaa
Trusting some one with a piece of paper can be dangerous. I have met a lot of very stupid ignorant people with phds.
realistichorsegonadbehavior
Well technically, they're both "claiming". We don't know dick about either of em.
nanyatenyaa
Also... don't ignore the fact people often kept poor track of age not that long ago.
