GREAT FALLS, Mont. - The Montana resident considered to be the world's oldest man celebrated his 113th birthday Monday.
The invitation-only celebration at the Rainbow Retirement Community in Great Falls featured Walter Breuning giving a brief talk, blowing out candles, sharing cake and meeting guests, including Gov. Brian Schweitzer.
"Glad to see so many people here. Thank you for coming," he told the attendees.
Breuning also was presented with several awards, including a $10,000 check from Scottish Rite Temple members. Breuning then donated the money to the Childhood Language Disorder Clinic in Great Falls.
During his remarks, Breuning said it was unfair to compare this year's recession with the Great Depression, which he lived through.
"During the '30s there was no jobs, no nothing," he said, adding, "Now they've got more money in circulation than they've ever had in history.
Breuning attributes his long life to eating well and keeping physically and mentally active. He also says he takes one aspirin a day.
Breuning was born on Sept. 21, 1896, in Melrose, Minn., and moved to Montana in 1918. He worked for the railroad for 50 years.
Earlier this month, his former employer, BNSF Railway, presented him with a check for $50,000 to be donated to Shriners Hospital in honor of his service.

It was always said - The nicer people live longer!
113 years old! DAYUM!
One of the last survivors of the 1800s! Kind of sucks, hope he lives plenty more years! (The record is like 130-something I believe)
âThe Fright Night remake is a film which taps into the audienceâs deepest rooted fears, such as those of vampires throwing motorcycles at them. I dread the thought of a vampire throwing a refrigerator or a deskjet printer or... Iâd better stop before I give myself nightmaresâ
Nope thats wrong I know a dude who is 117 right now and is still kickin
Now, remember: you don't aim a gun at a man unless you intend to shoot him. And, you don't shoot a man unless you intend to kill him. No warning shots. Hey, you listening to me? No warning shots. Warning shots are bullshit. You shoot to kill, or you don't shoot at all.
Fuck that, I'm living to 130 and exersizing my sledgehammer arm every week!

Hey, I work in a very upscale rich as hell retirement resort. I see old people all the time, and though they are rich and have everything they want, they are all miserable. Hey briggsy, when I'm 85, you can use those sledgehammer arms on my noggin!

jgordon-in biblical times before the flood-god gave man along life-until he sinned and then after shortened it-but it's amazing how a person if he's in good health can live a long life even with the world problems we face
And the assholes can also get more time in order to turn themselves around I imagine
