Peru says they've got a 124-year-old dude who's the real oldest guy in the world, and not the 111-year-old British guy who recently nabbed the Guinness World Records title.

The Peruvian government reveals Marcelino Abad Tolentino, a local farmer, was born in 1900 and hit 124 years old on April 5 -- which, if legit, means he's not just blowing out candles, but he's also setting a global record as the oldest man on the planet.

In a statement, officials say they found the senior citizen in the small village of Chaglla back in 2019 and hooked him up with a passport, an ID card and a pension.

Perú dice que uno de sus ciudadanos es el verdadero hombre más viejo del mundo y no el hombre de 111 años del Reino Unido, que recientemente obtuvo el título Guinness World Records.

En un comunicado, las autoridades aseguran que encontraron al anciano en el pequeño pueblo de Chaglla en 2019 y le concedieron un pasaporte, un DNI y una pensión.

Families looking to buy huge packs of toilet paper and dirt cheap hot dogs at Costco can now make out like old-timey prospectors, 'cause the retailer's got gold to spare, which is flying off their digital shelves ... to the tune of potentially hundreds of millions.

The store known for selling everything in bulk is in the precious metals game these days ... selling 1-oz, 24-karat gold bars in their stores for around $2,400 a pop. This has been going on for about 6 months or so now, and at this point ... it's apparently a money-maker.

Analysts at Wells Fargo reportedly told its clients earlier this week that Costco might be bringing in between $100 million and $200 million on gold sales each month. Wowza!

La vida de El Chapo en la cárcel se está volviendo aparentemente solitaria, pues ahora le está pidiendo a un juez que le permita a su esposa visitarlo en la cárcel, y en cuanto a sus hijas pequeñas, poder entregarles un anillo.

El notorio capo del cartel mexicano está rogándole a un tribunal de Nueva York que autorice una visita de la familia en la Penitenciaría de los Estados Unidos, Florence en Colorado, donde va a pasar el resto de su vida tras las rejas.

Eso no es todo, el ex señor de la droga también le está pidiendo a la corte que le siga permitiendo 2 llamadas de 15 minutos al mes con sus hijas, lo que se cortó el pasado mes de mayo. Él sugiere que esto es obra de los federales en represalia a su intento de que desechen su caso.

El Chapo's life in lock-up is apparently getting lonely -- 'cause now he's asking a judge to let his wife visit him in prison ... and for his young daughters to be able to give him a ring.

The notorious Mexican cartel kingpin is begging a NYC court to authorize a family visit at the supermax United States Penitentiary Florence in Colorado -- where he's spending the rest of his life behind bars.

That's not all ... the ex-drug lord is also asking the court to continue allowing him 2 15-minute calls a month with his girls -- whom he got cut off from last May, which he suggests is the doing of the feds because he's trying to have his case tossed, and he believes they're retaliating.

A Colorado bus aide was arrested after disturbing footage emerged showing her beat up a nonverbal, autistic boy she was tasked with watching ... and the injuries are jarring.

A woman who appeared on "The Howard Stern Show" once upon a time got into an ugly tussle with her boyfriend while driving ... something she live streamed and got arrested for.

People could be heard (and barely seen) cheering on the moment the moon perfectly covered the sun. There'll surely be lots of other reactions just like this throughout the U.S.

A United Airlines passenger was rattled after she watched a window get replaced on her flight moments before taking off ... by none other than what appears to be one of the pilots.

The passenger -- a self-described toddler expert named Kristin -- documented the experience on her IG Story Sunday ... filming what appeared to be the flight's pilot fixing the interior side of one window, this before her plane from Denver to Dallas was due to hit the sky.

She wrote ... "They are literally replacing a window with all of us just chilling and sitting here waiting to take off?!?!?!"

A music festival in Texas that was entirely dedicated to the solar eclipse is now getting scrapped entirely -- and the reason is a little freaky ... an omen, even, perhaps.

The event is called Texas Eclipse 2024 ... a 5-day get-together in Burnet, TX -- which seems to be very much in the vein of Burning Man ... which you can sense from all their marketing and promotional material, not to mention all the pics and vids they have up on socials.

All was well for these past few days ... however, on Monday, the festival organizers broke some startling news -- namely, their whole event was just canceled over crappy weather.
