MORE OLDEST

World's Oldest Person Turns 128 (and dies, in 2003)
by Thomson Fontaine
"Dominicans yesterday celebrated the birthday of the World’s oldest living person Elizabeth (Ma Pampo) Israel who turned 128 even as government vowed to increase pressure on Guinness World record officials to officially confer the title on the Dominican.

Unfortunately, the Guinness World record has not officially recognized Ma Pampo since they are still in the process of verifying the claim. A Baptismal certificate has been issued by the Roman Catholic Church with her birth date stated as January 27, 1875, but since it is not an official record, it cannot be used to authenticate the claim."



In 2001, this 31 year old cat died. It seems odd that a family can have a cat longer then it takes their kids to be born, grow ujp, and move away.
