Man learns casino losses not deductible
KYOTANGO, Japan, April 21 (UPI) -- The oldest man in Japan marked his 113th birthday with a celebration attended by about a dozen family members, including great-great-grandchildren.
Jiroemon Kimura, who celebrated with his family Monday at his Kyotango home, said breaking the record for Japan's oldest-ever man, 120 years, "might be a little difficult ... but that makes it all the more worthwhile" to attempt, Kyodo News reported Wednesday.
Kimura, born April 19, 1897, has 25 great-grandchildren and 10 great-great-grandchildren.
His family said the centenarian spends a lot of time lying down due to weakness in his lower body, but eats regular meals without difficulty.
