Sir Creep 7,070 Posted April 25, 2016 http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-supercentenarian-ruth-adler-111-dies-20160312-story.html A local supercentenarian, 111 year old Ruth Adler has died. Posting this because supercentenarian deaths are always in bunches. Those in Shaun's DP will be happy to soon cash in on those Jones or Morano jokers. While I don't buy the 'bunches' thingy, I'll go ahead for amusement purposes only and tack onto it and allow those with more expensive tin foil than I to do with this info as they wish. Here's #2 for you, unless you count Andrew Hatch in January this is #3, fete compli! Felix Simoneaux Jr. of Louisiana, who held the title of Americas oldest man for the past three months, died Tuesday a month before his 111th birthday, one of his five surviving children, Perry Simoneaux, confirmed to The Huffington Post. Simoneaux was bestowed the title of oldest living man in the United States about three months ago after the death of Andrew Hatch of Oakland, who was believed to be 117 when he died on Jan. 18. The next in line is Frank Levingston, ALSO OF LOUISIANA (!). Levingston was born on Nov. 13, 1905, making him 110. He is also the oldest living veteran in America.

The oldest woman in the United States is Susannah Mushatt Jones, 116, who lives in New York. Last year, she revealed that her secret to long life may be bacon, which she eats daily. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zsa Zsa, Kirk, Fidel and the King have to die on the same day and Susie has to precede them by one day. I'll take a piece of that action and throw my house, truck and investment savings into the pot.

gcreptile 10,979 Posted May 13, 2016 I wonder what it feels like to be Emma Morano now. Does she think "Yes! I'm Nr. 1!" or does she think "Well, I'm next." or maybe she thinks "lrlrrllgllerrlrlrllrlr" because of her age. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She was born in Haiti and her birth record was issued by Haiti in 2005, so Guinness has refused to accept that as definitive proof of age. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banshees Scream 110 Posted May 26, 2016 Cecilia's secret was something she forgot to tell. I have no doubt there are living people from the 1800's but without the facts being clear there might not be. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
