World's Oldest

Re the world's oldest being 'soft' targets. If you hit them I'd guess some of the skinnier ones would be pretty boney. Not exactly soft.

Lizzie bolden who was thought to be the worlds oldest person has been knocked off her throne by Maria Esther Capovilla, who is 116.

Holy crap, how fascinating. I was going to put Lizzie Bolden on my 2006 DDP, but if she's no longer the world's oldest person, then I doubt she'll get an obit.

 

I wouldn't put my money on Mrs. Capovilla dying next year either. From that picture, she looks almost as healthy as someone half her age.

 

Good for you Ecuador, way to stick it to America. ;)

It really isn't a good time for Britain's oldest people is it.

 

First there was Alfred Anderson, then the Indian born Lucy woman, and now some Polish guy who was thought to be the oldest man living in Britain.

 

Must be the winter cold setting in....

Looking at the picture, it looks as though she has failed to recognise the end of the Victorian era. :ghost:

Poor old thing, it doesn't relize that those hand made fans died

out way over 80 years ago.

 

The AC may be a bit to cold but if someone installed a

Ceiling fan that certainly wouldn't be a crime. :P

Poor old dear is probably terrified of "that new-fangled electricity".

Why did they take down all the pictures from when TF posted the Ecuadorian woman article?

 

I thought she looked healthy for her age. A little too healthy. :ghost:

Frantiska Novotna, the Czech Republics oldest person,

 

has died aged 108.

Do you ever get to thinking that we must be some of the only people in the world, outside of their immediate family, for whom this news has any interest?

And the people from Guinness, presumably.......

Bettie Wilson once recognized as the world's oldest person, eventually relegated to third place, has died.

 

I thought Bolden would go before her, but I guess not. Another Hartlepool miss...

That article includes this quote

Rogers said the family is handling her death in a positive way.

"We look at it this way," he said. "She is spending eternity with our heavenly father."

 

Surely if their Heavenly Father was that keen he wouldn't have wanted to wait 115 years before meeting up??

It's a bit of a bummer being born in 1891 but only being 5th oldest!

Not really.

I would imagine they don't know what day it is let alone their position in the age world ranking. :(
