    Default World's oldest person: 128/Happy birthday Cruz

    http://today.reuters.com/news/articl...OLD.xml&rpc=22

    Woah!

    It made me think that everyone should live this long if they wanted. I have no problem being old as dirt, so long as I am surrounded by people that love me.

    This lady was born in 1878! Can you imagine being alive until like 2105? That would be sweet!

    Just thought we'd take a break from the usual to wish Cruz Hernandez a happy 128th birthday!!! Could you imagine what all this lady has seen with her eyes and experienced. She's practically lived two full lifetimes!!! Please feel free to list all the historical events that she has lived through.
    RIP Tosa

    May 3, 1878. Assuming this is true . . .

    At the turn of the last century, she was 22 years old.

    She might have celebrated the end of World War One as a 40-year-old, old enough to be the mother of a soldier in the War.

    She reached her 50th birthday before the Great Depression, at the beginning of sound movies.

    She was 60 years old before World War Two.

    She was 91 years old during the Woodtsock concert.

    She reached her 100th birthday during the disco era.

    She doesnt even look that old either!

    The article said that the other oldest people came from that area of the world...might be something in the water....
