World's oldest woman dies...


There are doubts re the accuracy of her age, but there are no doubts re the embarassment that some officials feel re the circumstances of her death.

She broke her hip after slipping on the bathroom floor of her new flat - the flat that was given to her by local officials in honor of her advanced age.

  1. She had a 42 year old granddaughter? That would mean she and her daughter were, if they split up the years, both 44 years old when they birthed. Isn't that highly unlikely?

  2. Yes, that would be unlikely. But a granddaughter could also have arisen via a son, who could have fathered a child when he was 55-60...
