102nd Birthday Just Doesn’t Live Up to Expectations

Brazil’s most famous architect, Oscar Niemeyer, celebrated his 102nd birthday Tuesday in typical fashion: at work on projects rather than pondering his supercentennial age.

“Turning 102 is crap, and there is nothing to commemorate,” he told AFP.

Tell that to a guy who’s 101.

But at least he’s still getting some action.

Even in old age, Niemeyer continues to flaunt his love of life. He still enjoys his cigars—“an old habit that I cultivate with much gusto.” Four years ago, at age 98 and a widower, he married his 60-year-old secretary.
