World's Oldest Twins Turn 103

Pieter and Paulus Langerock from Belgium are the oldest twins in the world, now aged 103. They both never married, and they have lived together for most of their lives. Now the brothers barely leave each other's side, sharing a room in a nursing home. They say they are each other's best friends, and celebrated their birthday with a glass of French red wine. They have another two years to go to beat the current record, twins that live to 105.

My Opinion:
I think that this is pretty cool! Sometimes I wish I had a twin...

Source:
I found this information on Kiwi Kids News.

My Wondering:
What is the oldest age ever lived to?
Answer:
The oldest person ever was 123 year old Bolivian man.

Words:
Celebrated: Greatly admired; renowned.
Regret: Feel sad, repentant, or disappointed over (something that one has done or failed to do).
Neither: Not the one nor the other of two people or things; not either.
