Amou Haji’, who did not bathe for half a century, reportedly ate roadkill and smoked pipe filled with animal excrement.

An Iranian hermit nicknamed the “world’s dirtiest man” for not taking a shower for more than half a century has died at the healthy old age of 94, state media has reported.

Irna news agency reported that “Amou Haji”, an endearing nickname for an elderly person, died on Sunday in the village of Dejgah in the southern province of Fars.

Well bless that poor man. So much for all that anti-bacterial crap.

1) Did not bathe for half a century

2) Reportedly ate roadkill

3) Smoked a pipe filled with animal excrement

Is it just me, or is anyone else trying to figure out which number is the worst?

1, 2, 3, are the worst.

I'll take my chances with bathing.

I suppose that his story will now appear in numerous 'soap' opera's.

I can't even imagine the creatures that inhabited his body, let alone how he must've smelled!! In fact, I don't want to. See, he shouldn't have bathed. Maybe he'd still be alive today. I'm being facetious people!

He may not have bathed in decades, but I question if he was the " Worlds Dirtiest Man". That title belongs to the guy sitting next to you in the New York Subway.

He was healthy 'cuz people stayed far away from him & he couldn't catch anything.
That's also how eating onions & garlic prevent colds.

Looks like we'll be living longer out here. No water heater so we bathe about once every couple months.
