I heard on TV a couple of days ago that a woman has proof that she is
126 years old. She was from South America, possibly Brazil. Sorry I
can't tell you any more - I didn't see the full story. Maybe someone else
saw the whole feature (?)
BTW HotBot is a much more powerful search engine than Alta Vista.
