Rifaat al-Assad (b. 1937) Syrian VP 1984-1998 I don't get where the 1930 birthdate for Sarwari comes from. His age was given as 64 by Italian newspapers in 2006, that would mean he was born in 1942 and it is way more consistent with his physical appearance. Think 1930 was added by some trolls on Wiki. All policies but this easily goes through. Plus I think this guy with a Wiki page has never existed. Phew. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aaaand not a hit in the oldest living state leaders DP because he wasn't in the top 30: he was 32nd on the top 100 list despite being 93. If he had been born 3 days before, we would've finally gotten a hit after over six months! Bolanos was number 50 two years ago.

He has planned his funeral, done all the paperwork but hopes he'll have more time.

His liver metastasis has shrinked, meaning that the experimental medicines are working. He has passed his life expectancy by atleast a month and it's nearly six months since he entered hospice care. Seems like he wants to spend one last summer on his summer cottage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
