130? That stretches the realm of plausibility in my opinion.

Woman, 130, Wants Age-Old Guinness Record

A woman from Georgia is staking a claim to be the oldest person in the world.

Officials say Antisa Khvichava, who lives in a remote mountain village, will be 130 on July 8.

The Georgian authorities have petitioned the Guinness Book of Records to include her as the oldest person.

"Antisa Khvichava was born in the 19th century, and she is amazing," said Giorgi Vashadze, head of Georgia's Civil Registry Agency.

"We have the necessary documents to prove it."

The authorities have Ms Khvichava's Soviet-era passport registration, which shows her date of birth, and her pension book issued in the 1960s.

Although she was born in 1880, the pensioner only retired in 1965.

She was shown on TV two days ago - on International Women's Day - being congratulated by her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and enjoying a glass of wine.

The matriarch, a resident of the Tsalenjikhi region, remains in good health, according to reports, and still plays backgammon and drinks vodka.

If Mrs Khvichava is accepted for the Guinness Book of Records, she will take the title from a 114-year-old who lives in Japan.

But does she have a big horn sticking out of her head?

Pffft, aren't you supposed to be a Christian?

And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: (22) And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and Methuselah begat sons and daughters: (23) And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: (24) And Enoch walked with God: and he [was] not; for God took him. (25) And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech: (26) And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters: (27) And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.

Well if it can be proven, that's amazing. I'm skeptical, though.

Wasn't there allegedly some guy in 18th-century Britain who lived to be 152?  Doesn't mean it's true, of course, but I just mean more extreme claims of longevity have been made.

Oldest post flood claim I've heard is Li Ching-Yuen who lived to be 199 or 256, depending on if he was born in 1734 or 1677.  Records are disputed on this

She is still mad about her son getting killed in the Russian Revolution.

[DGuller]

She was born in 1880 and retired in 1965?  Yeah, that kind of stretches the credibility of it.  I can understand a tycoon working until 85, but a worker with a pension?

Some people just like to work and keep doing as long as they can.
