TBS News made a mildly interesting video: (Oh, TBS erased the video. Here's one from FNN.)
At 114 years old, Misawo Okawa of Osaka is the oldest woman in world. The previous holder of the title passed away in January. What's the key to living longer than a human should? "Eat delicious food and take life slowly. That's the best." Her favorite food is saba no kizushi (vinegar marinated raw mackerel), so don't eat that if you want to die before your grandchildren do. She was born in 1898 and will be turning 115 on March 5th. That means she was 47 when Japan surrendered. She was also born one year before Hitler, which I think pretty much proves that Hitler is still living the sweet life in Argentina.
The human face does some really interesting things when you keep it around for a century or so.
