    Eliza Underwood (15 March 1867 - 27 January 1981) was validated by Longeviquest. She was oldest person ever, since 16 October 1979 when she surpassed the final age of Delina Filkins (1815–1928). The evidence that has been found strongly suggests that Underwood might have been even older. The earliest census records and the earliest documents found, specifically the 1870 and 1880 census records, confirm her ages as 4 in August and 14 in June of the respective years. Given her claim of being born in March, the two earliest documents would suggest a birth year of 1866 rather than 1867, indicating that she was 114 at the time of her passing (a year older than claimed). This would have also made her the first person on record to reach the age of 114. https://longeviquest.com/supercentenarians/eliza-underwood/#recognition-section

    I don’t know if she should really be called “validated” if there is no certainty to her birth date (She was very likely still 113 or older though)

    Two bits about Russ Francis that Diego didn't mention. He won the Superbowl in 1984. I feel like every superbowl winner is a guaranteed DDP QO nowadays, which wasn't the case a few years ago. And he was in the Wrestlemania 2 NFL Vs WWF battle royal.

    You're so wrong. I care. I care that your cat had such a complete nonce for an owner. Poor little bastard. Oh, and just so I don't disappoint you, there should be two spaces after the full stop, an apostrophe in 'dont', 'u' should be 'you', a full stop after 'though', and quite possibly a comma after 'care'.
