"Cuban Miss Old"

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/ondeadline/post/2011/02/cuban-woman-celebrates-birthday----reportedly-no-126/1

A Cuban woman named Juana Bautista de la Candelaria Rodriguez celebrated what she say was her 126th birthday on Wednesday. Family members threw a surprise party to celebrate. The surprise was that she’s alive.

The Guinness Book of World Records does not consider her hometown civil registry documentation of her birth as sufficient evidence to name her the world’s oldest person. Ms. Rodriguez, undaunted, is willing to wait them out.

At 126 she still loves thrill rides, such as rocking chairs and standing up.
