keeps happening - I don;t know why - must be some sort of conspiracy

Radak		2012-12-05 06:29:36 AM

CNN article indicates she didn't vote this year, only the second election she missed. Probably automatic Death Panel.

SmackLT		2012-12-05 07:00:36 AM

Fark should keep a pool going of regular events and let farkers vote on which will happen first in any given week. There could even be odds:

Lindsay Lohan arrest or new warrant: 4:3
World's oldest person dies: 3:1
Al Qaeda #2 killed: 4:2

Sir I wanna buy this brush, for my mama please...

Gawddammit I said you gotta stake her. Stop just shooting her in the head ok? Why do you think this has happened so many times already? She's just gonna come back.

Rapmaster2000		2012-12-05 09:01:02 AM

Still a better gig than al-Qaeda #2.

We need to select a younger oldest person candidate, maybe someone in their eighties so they can hold the title a while.

Maybe death was so nice, she tried it twice?
/right in that hand basket

ram.1500		2012-12-05 09:07:26 AM

Seems like a title no one can hang on to very long!!

Mighty Aswan		2012-12-05 09:13:38 AM

If people would quit aging this wouldn't be a problem.

Hawnkee		2012-12-05 09:14:12 AM

Meh.

Crewmannumber6		2012-12-05 09:14:50 AM

I hope Carl was nearby

hogans		2012-12-05 09:20:10 AM

Give her a few minutes. she'll be right as rain again.

Carn		2012-12-05 09:22:40 AM

116? That's really old. I don't for a minute think I'll last that long, but if I could, it would be amazing to see the changes in technology we make in the next 80 years.

JackieRabbit		2012-12-05 09:36:16 AM

Really, this is becoming ridiculous. When's that old biatch going to make up her mind?

Surly U. Jest		2012-12-05 09:51:43 AM

She went to my university. GO Bucs!

blatz514		2012-12-05 09:56:20 AM

I see a theme occurring here...

DmGdDawg		2012-12-05 10:05:31 AM

Again??? It's like that title is cursed or something.*

* This line was pretty funny the first time, but now I do it out of tradition, much like watching the Charlie Brown Christmas every year.

bdub77		2012-12-05 10:05:52 AM

Her eyesight had deteriorated, though, and she no longer read the Bible or any of the other great works of fiction.

Fixed that for you, CNN.

DickDarlington		2012-12-05 10:07:55 AM

Bet she never saw that coming.....

Probably more like the toilet chair in Idiocracy...

Revek		2012-12-05 10:47:21 AM

Seems like it happens a couple of times a year.

Valiente		2012-12-05 11:14:40 AM

Well, good for her, but I prefer to concentrate on the living, the MILFy living..

Forty-seven used to be old, or frequently dead.

This is 47 today:

natazha		2012-12-05 11:27:19 AM

I'm expecting someone in my area to hold the title. Except for hunting, logging and automobile deaths, most of the people are over 100 when they die here.

blacknoir		2012-12-05 11:30:43 AM

RIP Alice Cooper

mama2tnt		2012-12-05 11:58:16 AM

FTA: "Besse Cooper was declared the world's oldest person in January 2011. In May 2011, Guinness World Records learned that Maria Gomes Valentin of Brazil was 48 days older. Valentin died the next month."

Don't let Guinness know you're alive or they'll knock you off?

imtheonlylp		2012-12-05 12:47:20 PM

"meh"

ObscureNameHere		2012-12-05 01:28:27 PM

BronyMedic: I feel sorry for the world's oldest woman. They just keep killing her.

[stuffpoint.com image 400x225]

Show had great style, jaw-dropping bad bad bad continuity. And I don't even mean bad 'nerd-ish techie' continuity, I mean "we said this about the plot in the first 10 minutes, but 10 minutes later we forgot all about that key plot point."

*sigh* Some great T.V. though in its moment.

justakcdude		2012-12-05 01:28:37 PM

How old was her son? 95?

The Downfall		2012-12-05 01:40:43 PM

According to wiki, we are down to 17-19 known people born before 1900

yay, i move up a notch

dj1s		2012-12-05 04:27:04 PM

It's like being Number 2 in Al Qaeda...

SquiggsIN		2012-12-05 04:39:38 PM

So common knowledge is that people don't live much past a century and that the oldest person was 122.

Yet a majority of this nation and a third of the planet put their faith in a book that claims a man lived to the ripe old age of 969 years, Methuselah. (Amongst the many others it claims lived to be many hundreds of years)

Humans, on average, are very stupid.

That same book states in no uncertain terms that the rules were changed after the multiple-centenarians had their day. The same passage also states that nobody could ever live beyond 120 years. Make of that what you will.

My point was that the book is full of contradictions and that every explanation for believing what it says requires you to throw logic out the window.

If you look closely, you'll see that I wasn't disagreeing with you.

Why??!? Why does this keep happening? Do they hold a party for the next oldest in line?
"Guess what Pop-Pop! You're next!... I mean...You're the oldest person in the world!"
