Talk:Christian Mortensen/Archive 1

Bicycle or tricycle?
Any documentation he rode a tricyle to the retirement home? The article cited says 'bicycle.' Lolwikiments (talk) 18:42, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Somebody made that change without an explanation, IIRC. If the source says "bicycle," I think that you could change it back.  If somebody has a better source for "tricycle," they should cite it.--Hjal (talk) 06:07, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Sexual Orientation
Should it be noted, that many people had believed Mortensen was a homosexual. Do to the fact that he was married for a couple years, and never had children. He also said that he was "not interested in women".Mjjd226 (talk) 01:32, 22 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Who cares? Jersey John (talk) 17:27, 12 June 2013 (UTC)


 * I agree with you, Jersey John. Even if Mr. Mortensen were still alive, it really wouldn't be anyone's concern but his anyway. Seanette (talk) 18:45, 12 June 2013 (UTC)


 * This has become a PC issue in this article - unfortunately. His sexuality is of interest because it may have a bearing on his longevity. 86.187.169.43 (talk) 12:29, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

Catholic or Protestant
I noticed he is tagged as being both an American Protestant and an American Catholic. He could have been raised one and become another, but as a Catholic, I'm pretty sure you can't be both :) 98.94.103.2 (talk) 03:15, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Image
Can we please remove the drawing of him being used as his picture? In my opinion it's better to have nothing than that.--Dorglorg (talk) 21:32, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Boiled water
Mortensen stated he drank boiled water and cited this as one of the ways to live a long life. This should be investigated. 86.187.169.43 (talk) 12:32, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

Useful information?
Recent edit: (Mortensen was visited by James Vaupel and other longevity researchers on the occasion of his 113th birthday. He was particularly pleased with a box of Danish cigars that the researchers had brought him.) Necessary or not? MattSucci (talk) 04:58, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
