I read the initial story last May, about the gentleman who was probably the world’s oldest man but couldn’t prove it, and then followed the story.

Here’s the latest:

Habib Miyan is 125 years old according to his pension papers although he claims to be 132.

A resident of the Indian state of Rajasthan, his trip to Mecca was made possible by the generosity of readers of BBC News Online.

I don’t know what it is, but I just think it’s really fantastic that strangers–who will receive no credit in this world–made his life long dream possible.

It’s nice to read good news.
