I bet she's closer to 60 and just looks ancient from decades of chain smoking
Buy her a birthday cake, then ask her how many candles we need to put on it. That will find her out. :smug:

[QUOTE=SBD;22580889]Cut her in half and count the rings.[/QUOTE] Why did I laugh? Oh, because you made a funny.
Maybe she's a wizard and forgot to change her identity 50 years ago
If it is true and i highly doubt it , i wonder what she will look like That's Jeanne Calment on her 121st birthday [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/7f/Jeanne-Calment-1996.jpg[/img] Also it reminds me of the story of Old Tom Parr 1483-1635? [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Tom_Parr[/url] [QUOTE=Wikipedia;]Parr was said to have been born in 1483 near Shrewsbury, possibly at Wollaston. He supposedly joined the army around 1500 and did not marry until he was 80 years old. He had two children, both of whom died in infancy. Parr attributed his long life to his vegetarian diet and moral temperance, although when he was about 100 years old he purportedly had an affair and fathered a child born out of wedlock. After the death of his first wife, he married a second time at the alleged age of 122. As news of his purported age spread, 'Old Parr' became a national celebrity and was painted by Rubens and Van Dyck. In 1635, Thomas Howard, 21st Earl of Arundel, visited Parr and brought him to London to meet Charles I. Charles asked what Parr had done that was greater than any other man, and the latter replied that he had performed penance (for his affair) at the age of 100. Parr was treated as a spectacle in London, but the change in food and environment apparently led to his death. The king arranged for him to be buried in Westminster Abbey on 15 November 1635. The inscription of his gravestone reads: THO: PARR OF YE COUNTY OF SALLOP. BORNE IN AD: 1483. HE LIVED IN YE REIGNES OF TEN PRINCES VIZ: K.ED.4. K.ED.5. K.RICH.3. K.HEN.7. K.HEN.8. K.EDW.6. Q.MA. Q.ELIZ K.JA. & K. CHARLES. AGED 152 YEARES. & WAS BURYED HERE NOVEMB. 15. 1635 [/QUOTE]
hey guys im old, but soz i burned the records xD believe me
If it was a scam, wouldn't they just yell it out and draw attention and not risk the person actually dying before they could confirm her age? Surely they've had 34 years to do so.
I'd hate to be 157. Nothing more tragic than watching your great-grandchildren die of old age.
Bool shets.
Couple thousand years ago, if you said you were 100 people would have said the same thing.

Probably just a babbling 70-90 year old with dementia.
[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;22579033]Bullshit. Without any verifiable evidence it's just some senile old woman spouting gibberish.[/QUOTE] actually looking at her mitochondrial DNA, i believe we can grab a rough estimate of her age.
Ask her Mother
I wonder why all these 100 year old people are always in nowhere countries like Indonesia...
imagine living 50 years of thinking "am i going to die the next hour or not"
Wasn't there another Indonesian person who said he could survive without food or water? And of course it turned out to be bullshit. I seriously doubt there's a 157 year old woman, and if so, I do not want to see a picture, that must not be pretty.
[QUOTE=turkeysandvich;22578920]well that's one thing to be proud of being an Indonesian[/QUOTE] same [editline]04:32PM[/editline] [QUOTE=ProboardslolV2;22601179]I wonder why all these 100 year old people are always in nowhere countries like Indonesia...[/QUOTE] because they don't have fast-food places like mcdonalds, kfc, etc. They survive off natural herbs and medicines, unlike us americans who are generally lucky to survive past 80.
I swear officer, she said she was 18, but she lost all forms of ID to prove it!
[IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6a/Li_chingYuen.jpg[/IMG] Calls bullshit.
Incredibly, incredibly unlikely. Most organs aren't even designed to continue functioning after that kind of period of time, and blood cells can only be replenished so many times. Couple that with Indonesia, a place full of tropical diseases and poverty, and you have a rather unlikely story. However, it's possible. Highly unlikely, but possible. I don't really blame people like this for trying a scam in order to get some money. They look like they're living in a hovel.
