Cat O'Falk 3,290 Posted March 15, 2018 2 hours ago, 123jeff said: Nabi Tajima feels majorly cheated she never got to experience the "easy" way of living in 3 centuries because she was born 1900, not 1899... This slight inconvenience won't stop her though... she'll just reach 2100. "In life, you must always have backup plans." - Nabi Tajima, 2018 Anyone else feeling the most confident about Nabi Tajima, who years ago, was the least likely candidate of 117+ (compared to Emma Morano, Violet Brown)? She never even got the chance to beat this short lived woman, Emma Morano, and become the last of the 1800s. On a point of pedantry she has lived in three centuries as Wikipedia confirms. The 19th century ended at 2400 hrs on the 31st December 1900 which is about five months after she was born. I suspect she means being alive in the 1800s, 1900s and 2000s. ETA: She should take heart in that she is the only one born in the 19th century to survive all others born in that century and there is only one of them every 100 years or so. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

time 8,594 Posted March 17, 2018 32 minutes ago, 123jeff said: No, she hasn't lived in 3 centuries and most longevity scientists would agree. When the Venerable Bede created the calendar, he was already 5-6 years off. So if you're basing it on this nonsense, the last survivor of the 19th century was probably someone born in 1895 The ISO does not support the Jan 1, 1801 - Dec 31, 1900 "19th century" definition either. And after all, they basically standardize everything... She is probably the last to have been conceived in the 19th century. If you want to see the official scientific list of "oldest people to not have lived in 3 centuries," composed by scientists, I can show you (btw, Nabi Tajima is on that list) Lastly, saying "Jan 1, 1801 - Dec 31, 1900" is the 19th century is like saying" you win a 100 meter race by running 101 meters"... it does not make sense if you think about it. It's logical to think centuries are 1800 - 1899, 1900 - 1999, etc etc. If I may pedant... By that logic, the first century AD (or CE if you prefer) was only 99 years long as there was no year zero, so cant be a century. Logically, the first century AD is it's first hundred years, i.e. 1 AD to 100 AD; subsequent centuries hence start in (x)x01 and finish in (x)[x+1]00 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted March 17, 2018 So let me be the one to ask the obvious. Are you the same Jeff who posts at 110 club? I lurk there sometimes and it kind of surprised me nobody brought it up. Your usernames are almost identical, you deleted your posts here the moment someone over there mentioned this topic (and made a point to insult DeathList and say it was probably fake information), and your arguments about the 19th century are literally the same ones ryoung122 keeps making, almost word for word (including the 101 meters one).

In Jeff's favour, I did a Google reverse image search on the photos he posted before asking any questions, and they apparently appeared nowhere else on the internet, so if he is a troll, he at least went to the trouble of scanning his own sourced images first. Points for effort! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends 7,957 Posted March 23, 2018 On 2/12/2018 at 12:46, Phantom of the Midway said: Tajima only needs to live about 6 more weeks to "break the top 4" - as in finally join the elite group of 90s supercentenarians who are the four oldest people ever - Calment, Knauss, Hannah, and Meilleur. I'm still pissed that Violet Brown and Emma Morano died a couple months before breaking the top 4. They seemed in much better shape than Tajima. Nabi Tajima has now surpassed Marie-Louise Meilleur's age, becoming the first person to do so in nearly two decades. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
