		Emiliano Mercado del Toro (21 de agosto de 1891) es el hombre actualmente vivo con más años del* planeta, y el tercero que ha vivido más años de cuantos han figurado en el Libro Guinnes de los Récords.

		Don Emiliano is definitely not parade material (though he was featured as grand marshal in a local Veterans Day march last year, pulled along in a wheelchair all decked out in a navy-and-gold garrison cap) and may not be around next time the Armistice is celebrated.

		Thinking about Don Emiliano and the idea of living to 112 (which means I'd still be around in 2050) gives me more than a little pause.
