Guinness World Records listed the WWII vet as the oldest ice hockey player when he broke his own record in 2017 by playing at an international old-timers\u2019 tournament in Santa Rosa, California at 96 years and 2 days old. And when his team offered him a lifetime achievement certificate with free ice-time for his 80th birthday, they didn\u2019t expect that they\u2019d be covering his expenses for two more decades.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u27a2 This three-year-old would likely be considered a hero to some. Harry Keogh, who is from Dublin, Ireland, took his dad\u2019s phone and managed to order about 36-dollars-worth of McDonald\u2019s French fries. His parents believed he was only watching YouTube videos on the phone, and his mom was shocked when a delivery driver showed up with nine orders of the fries. When his parents asked why he had ordered so many fries, he told them he was feeling a bit hungry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u27a2 Three more stars are making their way to the dance floor on \u201cDancing With the Stars\u201d.
