Brazil Kaxinawa Indian 'may be world's oldest woman'
A Brazilian Indian who celebrates her birthday on Saturday may be the oldest woman in the world - and by some distance. Maria Lucimar Pereira, a member of the Kaxinawa tribe, is 121 years old, says a tribal rights group.
It says she has a birth certificate showing she was born in 1890.
But the Guinness Book of Records says she has not been registered with them. The verified oldest living woman is 115-year-old American Besse Cooper.

There seems to be some uncertainty about it, but just because the GBR hasn't heard of her
doesn't mean it's not true. Her birth certificate though was only issued in 1985 for some reason.
If she really is that age - she's a remarkable lady !
What do you think - could she be 121 yrs old ?
Would anyone here like to live to that age ? I don't think I would.
