The World's Oldest person (Again)

Maybe I just pick the wrong days to read the newspaper, but it seems like I read fairly regularly that another oldest person has died.

Is it the same old person fooling us every time? Not really dead, but merely enjoying making the headlines each week? Or are we just experiencing a rash of oldest people losing the will to stay the oldest.

Whatever the case may be, things aren't looking good for whoever is the next oldest, but then again, at least he or she is probably too old to actually see to read about all these other oldest people.
