Chasing Methuselah
Apparently there is a lady in South Africa who is claiming to be 134 years old. She says she has documantation proving she was born in 1874.
I'd be happy to live that long provided my body and my brain hadn't deteriorated to the point where either was unservisable. As things are, at present, I don't think that's feasible. What say you?

Re: Chasing Methuselah
I saw the story on the News. Apparently she has a 90 year old daughter.
For so long as I have my health and a sound mental capacity each day on this earth has to be a bonus.

Any day that you wake up and they are not shovelling dirt on your face is a good day

Re: Chasing Methuselah
I hope they give her double her pension, being over twice the pensionable age.
 Quite an extraordinary age. She'd be aged around twenty seven when Queen Victoria died.
