I notice this headline appears quite frequently - is this a trend here or something. It doesn't seem to pay to be the world's oldest person.

Amazing! In the photo accompanying the original story on MSNBC, she doesn't look a day over 105!

Everytime somebody gets to be the oldest person, they end up dying. Damn! All that living for such a brief, shining moment of glory at the very tip-top of the food chain.

I'm curious about the 2-days of sleeping and 2-days of staying awake. I wonder if that tricked the body into living longer. Maybe our aging process is triggered by the number of times we sleep. Something to look into.

Why live the oldest people always in Japan? Maybe I should try more fish and Japanese water?
