2 of the worlds oldest people pass away

[Champ]

This is actually very interesting! the 2nd and 3rd oldest people in the world died on the very same day this past Sunday. One was a few months shy of 114 years old and the other was a few months shy of 115 years old. The oldest person in the world, who is still alive, is only one week older than the second oldest person who just passed away

They hung around for a while.

Apparently my grandmother on my dad's side and her brothers and sisters were the oldest living set of brothers and sisters in Britain at one point. My great-grandfather must have really been a genetic jackhammer.

Mastersnit doesn't even know how old his Grandparents are but he knew Chris Masters would get a special finisher win and enter the Rumble! HAHAHAHA!!!

The thing I hate about these stories is every time a 114 year old dies, some 112 year old inherits the title of next-to-croak. Imagine its your grandma and all you can look forward to is losing them.

LOL.

It wasn't that they were 100 years old and ancient, but they were the oldest group of siblings in terms of their combined ages. My grandmother was one of the youngest. So, her age combined with the ages of the others added up to a higher combined number than any other group of siblings.
I'm not sure about the exact numbers, but I've heard about it now and again for years from various family members.

The members of clan McMasterSnit don't go down without a fight!

MasterSnit's grandparents are the Cenas of not dying.

I see what you're saying. It's kind of like how Andre the Giant, Akeem, and Big Bossman were the heaviest 3 man tag team in WWF history, but neither man was the the heaviest of all time

[MasterSnit]

Yeah, that's it.

The oldest person I've known is my great-grandmother on my mum's side. She was 91 when she died.

My friend's grandmother just past away at 96 a few weeks ago.

I remember when I was a kid, my landlord's mother died at 104. I don't know if I recall knowing anyone older than that
