RolandDeschain 91 Posted December 10, 2016 I've just noticed that Zhou Youguang is now the joint 100th verified oldest man ever sharing the place with Masatake Kinoshita at 110 years, 332 days old.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,227 Posted December 10, 2016 Nevermind, figured it out after a few minutes. Congrats on Zhou Youguang though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted December 11, 2016 I hope Emma Morano sees 2017 at the very least, and becomes 5th oldest person of all time. Aye, doubtless a few Deathracers share your interest. It's definitely happened a while back that the world's oldest person has lost the title without having to die, but - surely - she's nailed on to lose it in the traditional way and generate world wide news in doing so. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The former would only happen through a person being discovered that is older than them? In that case, they were never actually the world's oldest person in the first place.

No but they are recognised as the World's oldest person and get a visit from the ghost of Norris McWhirter or summit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aye, but it isn't an official title - people are "recognised" (or that's how is has been in the past), the point being there's some leeway granted still on the basis that vague record keeping and the likes, plus spurious claimants always make these waters a mite muddy. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulitzer95 12,620 Posted December 17, 2016 Fu Suqing, a Chinese woman who claimed to be born 1897 died back in September 2016.

RadGuy 1,614 Posted December 31, 2016 A local lady (local for me) turning 110 on January 1st. She seems to be in excellent health, I could see her becoming the new world's oldest person in 2023 or so. But of course, at this age, anything can happen. http://abc7chicago.com/news/chicagoan-to-celebrate-110th-birthday-on-news-years-day/1679810/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
