This report was in the Denver Post about a month ago, when the world's oldest person turned 115 years old. She's already out-lived her husband (by 70 years!) and her two sons. What I didn't realize, and learned from this story, is that there are about 75 people in the world over 110-years old. In addition, there are (according to Wikipedia) 55,000 people over 100-years old in the USA alone. I had no idea people were doing this.
