World’s oldest man dies

The world’s oldest man has died. Tomoji Tanabe passed away in his sleep at his home in Japan at the age of 113. He was born on 18 September 1895.

Tomoji is survived by eight children - five sons and three daughters.

He also had 25 grandchildren, 53 great-grandchildren, and six great-great-grandchildren. The former city land surveyor was certified by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s oldest man when he was 111 years old.

What do you think is the most misspelt word in English? If you said “definitely”, you’d definitely be correct!

A study’s found that most of us tend to spell “definitely” as “definately.” Other problem words include sacrilegious, indict and bureaucracy, according to a British newspaper. More than 30% of those polled blamed text messaging for the mistakes while 42% think poor spellers are “thick”.

Some 5,000 people were polled. The top 10 misspelt words are definitely, sacrilegious, indict, manoeuvre, bureaucracy, broccoli, phlegm, prejudice, consensus and unnecessary.

This here is proof of why you should never sleep when getting a tattoo. A Belgian teenager is suing a tattooist for £10,000. She says she fell asleep while the man was working on her tattoo but she woke up with 56 stars on her face!

18-year old Kimberley Vlaminck says the man spoke such bad English and French that he misunderstood her at the tattoo parlour in Belgium. She says she fell asleep while the tattooist went to work and woke up to find 56 stars on her face. “It is horrible,” sobbed Kimberley. “He has turned me into a freak.

I can’t go out on the street now without people looking at me.” However, the man says “she got what she wanted” - and only complained when her dad got angry and her boyfriend dumped her.

You probably could’ve figured it out before I told you. The Blarney Stone has been named world’s most unhygienic attraction. Turns out that kissing the Blareny Stone in Ireland could give you more than just the gift of the gab.

Researchers say the Stone, kissed by up to 400,000 people a year, rates as the most germ-filled of sites - although they admit there’s no scientific evidence to back its case. Local legend has it that visitors who bend over backwards to kiss the stone built into Blarney Castle, near Cork, Ireland, are rewarded with the ‘gift of the gab’. But experts believe that those who kiss the stone are likely to end up with something else other than fluent speech as it is so germ ridden.
