The thing about being named “The Oldest Man on Earth” is you only get the title when the guy ahead of you dies. That’s the situation New Yorker Alexander Imich has found himself in. At 111 1/4 years, he is now the oldest man on Earth. The New York Times says upon hearing the news he said, “Not like it’s the Nobel Prize.” To put his age in perspective, Imich was 10 months old when the Wright Brothers made their famous first flight.
