Fauja Singh

[drol 12,130]

Runner and huge age fraudster Fauja Singh turns 112 today.

 

First mentioned on these forums back in 2011, he still haunts the threads twelve years later, becoming sort of a DL legend, or demigod. The problem of being 100 when you are 83 is you will be 117 when you are 100.

 

Happy Birthday Fauja, and may it be your fucking last.

Hmm. Some old sod likely lies about his age, so of course the rational response is to wish imminent death upon him.

He is a cunt who lied for years, knowing he was lying, in order to achieve his fifteen minutes of fame. And still, many years later, no one dares to recognize his lies, despite the whole thing growing absurd.

 

112 should be enough.

So why are you feeding his fame hunger by giving him his own thread?

I think your anger here is absurd. It really doesn’t matter, does it?

[Sinbabad 1,155]

I blame him and the Athletics authorities. They let him compete though there was a huge doubt on his age ! For example in M90 category, he has the marathon record with an hour better than the second !

I do find it kind of funny how Shivakumara Swami exaggerated his age to a similar degree, but because he kept being hospitalized he became a forum legend while Fauja Singh is reviled since all he did is run with no real health issues.

Swami was also a fraudster ?

Yeah, Shivakumara Swami's daughter swapped places with him when he died of the flu in the 1930s.

Sounds familiar, isn’t is the case of every supercentenarian ??

No, I know, it was just irony !

Even if he's not 112 he could be centenarian now.

[DaDeathGuy 202]

His claimed birth date is April Fool's Day, he's been telling us from the start.

Doesn't look that bad, actually:

 

[TQR 14,451]

Clearly not 112 there. Kill him.

[arghton 6,867]

Giving advice on how to live to "112" now. He says he's hale and hearty and doesn't take medicine, plans on going to London and Nottingham again in July.

Someone please email this novice journalist, Guarav Kanthwal, tell him that the kind folk at DeathList insist he do some real fucking investigative journalism and he will discover some truths about Singh.

Yes, I know April Fool's Day is over. This was just too good not to post.

Well, he has been verified... by the totally legitimate organisation World Book of Records for "promoting Marathon" (clearly didn't like the rebranding to Snickers)

 

I get the impression he'll be around for a while yet, he seems the type that would yo-yo in and out of hospital for the last year or so of his life rather than go quietly.

Image from an event two days ago. Clearly frailer than last year, I'd say. He might be one of the greatest monsters in the history of the world for adding years into his age, but I love the way he dresses.

Doesn't look like a reputable source at all. The page was seemingly only created within the last day, posted some vague spammy nonsense, and then that.
