He could be a great-great-grandfather. But at 96, an Indian man is the world's oldest new dad. Ramjeet Raghav and his 52-year-old wife, Shakuntala Devi, gave birth to their second son on Oct. 5, according to the Times of India. He met Devi 10 years ago after practicing a life of celibacy. "My neighbors are jealous and they keep asking me for my secret, but all I tell them is that it is God's will," Raghav is quoted as saying, according to ninemsn. "I think it's very important for a husband and a wife to sleep together regularly, but for the sake of my child I've put our needs aside for now." A field hand and former wrestler, he first broke the "World's Oldest New Dad" record when his first son was born in November 2010. He lives on a diet of milk, butter and almonds, according to The Sun. Although Raghav believes he's "very capable" of having more babies, he says he's done for financial reasons.

That's how old I'll probably be when I have a child.
