okay, so where's the proof that it isn't true? Show me the money! Family Guy Guy 03:53, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

"quite possible"?

"Due to the extraordinary nutritive qualities(several times the next closest food) of the Goji berries on which Li Qing sustained himself, his claim is quite possible."

This seems like an extraordinary leap, especially considering the rest of the article.

pdw

I could see him and his son living that long: 125 + 125 = 250.

Did he eat anything other than goji berries? Family Guy Guy 00:42, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

From the "Guinnes Book of Records", Ed 1972

"No single subject is more obscured by vanity, deceit, falsehood and deliberate fraud than the extremes of human longevity (...) The height of credulity was reached on 5 May 1933, when a news agency solemny filed a story from China with a Peking dateline that Li Chung Yun, the "oldest man on Earth", born in 1680, had just died aged 256 years" (sic).--Wstefano 16:56, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
