Japanese Masazo Nonaka Confirmed as World's Oldest Living Man Aged 112

Masazo Nonaka from Japan was recognised today as the world's oldest man at the ripe old age of 112, as his family revealed his secret: sweets and hot baths. Nonaka, who was born on July 25, 1905 — just months before Albert Einstein published his theory of special relativity — received a certificate from Guinness World Records at home on Japan's northern island of Hokkaido.
