Georgian Woman Lays Claim to the Title of "the Oldest Person to Ever Live"

[Caliga]

A few years back there was a story in the Boston Globe about a lawyer who was 102 and still running his own law firm in Boston with his son and one of his grandsons.  I think his son was getting ready to retire but the dad had no intention of doing so.  I realize he doesn't count as a "worker with a pension"...  but still, damn.

Idiots, all of you. Everybody is 13.7 billion years old.

You guys need to come up with a different name or spelling for one of the two Georgias, as it is too confusing.

I suggest using the country of Georgia's local name, then : Saakartvelo.

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.

In Soviet Union?  So that's who it was?

How did we manage to get Georgia out of that?

Quite a few of those weird disconnects: Magyorszag/Hungary, Suomi/Finland, Nippon/Japan, Hellas/Greece, off the top of my head.

Judging by a fascinating (and hopefully accurate) Wikipedia article, we didn't.

Considering Geogia is currently in full on nationalist mode I will say 'doubtful'

Nippon/Japan,

That one sounds like a simple misunderstanding.

Greece apparently comes from the name of a town in Greece which sent colonists to Italy.
