Still going! 86-year-old Rudy Tempesta of Chapel Hill, NC., USA- the longest-serving mailman in the United States, has served for 66 years! Extra dry! Pakistan's 152 year old Murree Brewery produces millions of barrels of beer a year- in a country where it is illegal for 97% of the country's population to drink it! Cheetahs are the only large cat without fully retractable claws, which allows them to keep traction while running at high speeds!

Even more amazing than the non-rectractable claws.The Cheetah belong to the family Felidae which includes domestic cats rather than belonging to the Pantherinae family or BigCats.

I’ve been to Pakistan (twice in the late 1990’s), and Murree beer is pretty rude. Especially since 1/2 the bottles I opened were flat because the caps weren’t sealed correctly.

I wonder if Rudy has the Birthday Card that Grandma said she sent me in 1962?

I understand Cheetas can make fairly tame pets…..but I think I will stick to kitty cats, personally.

Oh God that beer sucks. I drank it in Karachi. It was like drinking sewer water filtered though big foots jock strap.

for the record, when a carrier leaves his route for whatever reason, the route goes up for bid and the most senior of the carriers bidding gets the route; they don’t get some young unemployed person to get the route. I have my doubts about an 86 year old guy doing a mail route unless it is a route that involves only all deliveries by vehicle. Even then, there is occasional heavy lifting …..unless other people around him are doing the lifting for him, the guy has to be in incredible shape for his age.
