Happy 114th Birthday!

The world's oldest man turned 114 in Montana today. He apparently only eats two meals a day and listens to the radio often. Walter Breuning lives in a retirement community where his state senator visited today.

114 means that he was born in 1896, thus has seen the century "turn" twice. In 1896 there were only 45 states (Utah was adopted) and Queen Victoria became the longest ruling British monarch and the X-ray machine was invented.
