 * I haven't a clue, I'm not the OP. &#8213; Mandruss  &#9742;  01:26, 20 January 2015 (UTC)


 * We don't give opinions. Besides, it's working just fine. BulbgraphOnOff.gif Clarityfiend (talk) 02:46, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
 * It's not working fine though - it's on the blink. Mitch Ames (talk) 13:32, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Nice! I can't believe I'd never heard or thought of that before. InedibleHulk (talk) 05:14, 20 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Shouldn't this be hatted as a medical or perhaps legal question? --jpgordon:==( o ) 16:40, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Is Shingo Kitamura male or female?
In the GRG pending cases, Shingo Kitamura is listed as female. But in the list of living supercentenarians, Shingo is listed as male. Which is correct? Deaths in 2013 (talk) 04:33, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
 * It's a guy's name, so I'd lean toward male. InedibleHulk (talk) 05:17, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Check z3.invisionfree.com/The_110_Club/index.php?showtopic=9975. Looks like a male to me. Google is your friend.  KägeTorä - ( 影 虎 )  ( Chin Wag )  14:47, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Based on what I have read on the 110 Club forum, Mr. Kitamura is a male. Futurist110 (talk) 07:27, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
