Russian man becomes father at the age of 89

Dribbling, burping and nodding off in the middle of the day - and that's just the father. Aramais Nazarov, a decorated Second World War veteran, has become a dad for the fourth time aged 89.

He took his newborn son Artem - weighing in at 8lb 2oz - home from hospital yesterday. The former soldier, who served in Stalin's Red Army, brought a bouquet of pink roses to congratulate his wife Yevgeniya, who is 54 years his junior.

Mr Nazarov, whose eldest child is a 61-year-old pensioner, said: "What is the secret of my strength? When you've got a wife that much younger you just have to meet her demands - and so I do. All things being well, we will have a daughter to make the family complete."

His wife, 35, said: "I don't feel the age gap. We live like a normal man and wife. He is very strong." Her mother Lidia Alexeevna, who is herself two decades younger than her son-in-law, admitted that she tried to persuade her daughter against the match. "Of course I tried to talk her out of it," she said. "But she insisted. He's a faithful and loving husband to her."

These people are not thinking ahead.  What are the chances that little Artem is even going to remember his father (who will most likely be dead in a few years)?

I guess that man couldn't care less about the kid- he's all for the Stud-Factor. And by the way he most likely will think himself to go for 120 years at the least.
