charon 4,938 Posted January 31, 2018 Any relation to Faustino Olivera? *unsure as to Latin naming protocol. Fransisco Nunez fought in the Rif War, and also for the Nationalist side in the Spanish Civil. Down to two left, according to wiki, but one is a 99 year old Faustino. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_surviving_veterans_of_the_Spanish_Civil_War Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,011 Posted February 4, 2018 Emma Primas, a supercentenarian, businesswoman and Houston celebrity who gained national prominence at age 109 during her 2015 meeting with President Barack Obama (when he gave her a peck on the cheek), died Tuesday. She was 112. Again, no DDP interest. Grey Panthers WTF? SC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 10,973 Posted February 12, 2018 World's oldest person, Nabi Tajima, has become the 5th oldest person ever. If she lives just over a month, she'll become the 4th oldest ever. But judging by the photo in the article (from September 2017) she's not in good shape. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah but a bit cruel to take the photo whilst she was asleep - if they'd taken a photo while she was doing a bit of jive at the afternoon tea dance then we'd have a different impression.

Death Impends 7,361 Posted February 12, 2018 I lurk the 110 Club every now and then and no one on there really expected her to last this long as she's looked this way for several years now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadGuy 1,605 Posted February 12, 2018 Tajima only needs to live about 6 more weeks to "break the top 4" - as in finally join the elite group of 90s supercentenarians who are the four oldest people ever - Calment, Knauss, Hannah, and Meilleur. I'm still pissed that Violet Brown and Emma Morano died a couple months before breaking the top 4. They seemed in much better shape than Tajima. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

123jeff 57 Posted February 25, 2018 In less than 65 days, there is a possiblity of FOUR Japanese SC's all reaching 114 years. Tomoe Iwata, Shin Matsushita, Yoshio Bessho, Tane Yonekura This is the next cohort of strong Japanese supercentenarians! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 12,063 Posted February 25, 2018 If Nabi Tajima is still around on 10th April (44 days time), she will become the third oldest person ever to have lived, at 117y 249d. Only Sarah Knauss (119y97d) and Jeanne Calment (122y164d) have ever done better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
