Dead old people party
I just love this headline: Party Thrown for World's Oldest Person. This sort of headline comes up once in a while... oh, I suppose every time the world's oldest person dies, thus creating a new world's oldest person? But this one is especially macabre, if you think about it. It's not like it's a birthday party - no, it's a Yone-Mnagawa(the-last-really-old-lady((from-Japan))-keeled-over party. I can just image those other 113 or 114-year-olds out there just waiting for poor Edna Parker to bite it, so they can make the headlines and eat some cake.

I have the same issue with this. Someone "wins" because someone else kicks it. Nice.
