Buster, Say It Ain’t So… But Then Again, I’m Still Impressed

Buster Martin made headlines before the London Marathon for being the oldest person to attempt it (he said he was 101). Awesome. Halfway through the race he stopped for a pint, a smoke and some homemade sandwiches. Another awesome. And he finished the race in a little over 10 hours. Which is pretty slow running, but pretty amazing for just staying on your feet moving forward that long. Awesome again. Then we read, in The Daily Mail, that Buster is really only 94, and that Guinness World Records says the company he is working for is exploiting him to drum up business. Not so awesome. Except so far as I hear, Buster and his company stand by his original age, and honestly, 101 or 94, it's pretty cool either way.
