You have to wonder how much sense anything made to her after 1960.

She was 116 and obiviously wasn't senile either.
That's amazing. Hat's off to her indeed.

Great for her! Looks like she had a happy and fruitful life.

At first I thought this was the old lady I saw on a PBS special years ago, but then I read where she liked sweets, and unless she changed her tune on sugar within the last few years I don't think this is her. That lady, when asked what was the key to her living so long said she never ate sweets and called sugar the devil, but drank a little whiskey every evening.

If it had been a white lady I probably would've thought differently. But glad to see you practicing equal opportunity.

But she's not the world's oldest human.
She's now just joins the ranks of world's deadest humans.

There were some twins some time ago who were 125, I guess they died? ... still, 116 is a long damn time to live. :eek: That must be amazing.

You've got to wonder if the last 10 years or so were really worth living for her though.

So whos the oldest person now? Some semi comatose prune?
