World's Oldest Woman dies

"she liked her bacon crispy and her chicken fried, she never drank, smoked or fooled around"

I'm so doomed.

Wow, that's amazing.

I had a great uncle who would be 111 this year if he was still alive. He died at 104 and he said he was basically holding out until the year 2000 so that he could 'see' three different centuries (he was born in 1898).

It's just mindboggling to think of all that these people have seen in their lifetimes!

I didn't read that part, I only read as far as the food.

It's one thing to live a long life, and then there's, well, living an interesting life
