World's Oldest Person to be alive (130 years old)
Authorities in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia claim a woman from a remote mountain village turned 130, making her the oldest person on Earth. Antisa Khvichava from western Georgia was born on July 8, 1880, said Georgiy Meurnishvili, spokesman for the civil registry at the Justice Ministry. The woman, who lives with her 40-year-old grandson in an idyllic vine-covered country house in the mountains, retired from her job as a tea and corn picker in 1965, when she was 85, records say. ‘I've always been healthy, and I've worked all my life – at home and at the farm,' Antisa said, in a bright dress and headscarf – and red lipstick. Sitting in a chair and holding her cane, Antisa spoke quietly through an interpreter – since she never went to school to learn Georgian and speaks only the local language, Mingrelian. (Link)
World's Oldest Swingers (70 years old)
Britain's oldest married swingers are celebrating 30 years of ‘total and utter hedonism' and are still enjoying partner-swapping parties – aged in their 70s. Retired Ian and Jean Smith – dubbed the ‘King and Queen of the Swingers' – have taken part in more than 300 ‘wild' sex parties since the 1970s. The couple, who have eight grandchildren, say their appetite for ‘no strings' sex has only increased with age. But they credit their ‘open relationship' and ‘free and easy' attitude as the secret to a long and happy marriage. (Link | Via)
World's Oldest Doctor (100 years old)
A doctor who has delivered 18,000 babies over a career spanning more than 60 years is still practicing at 100 years old. Dr Walter Watson, nicknamed ‘Papa Doc', has been present at the births of generations spanning from grandparents down to grandchildren during his 63 years as an obstetrician. The doctor from Augusta, Georgia, USA, is thought to be the oldest practicing medic in the world. Among his patients is Sabra Allen, 77, who he has treated for 59 years. He has delivered 17 members of her family. “He delivered all five of my kids and twelve of the grandkids,” said Mrs Allen, a retired hospital administrator. ‘There ain't no one like him, he's the best.” (Link)
World's Oldest Skydiver (97 years old)
A 97-year-old daredevil is believed to be the oldest skydiver, after he jumped from an aircraft in 2009. George Moyse and his grandson Edward Brewer, 43, leapt from a plane flying at 10,000ft with their instructors at the Netheravon Airfield in Wiltshire. For the first 5,000ft, they made a freefall at nearly 120mph before their parachute released and they enjoyed a more tranquil descent – landing safely on Salisbury Plain. (Link)
World's Oldest McDonald's Worker (85 years old)
Grandfather Bill Dudley is Britain's oldest McDonald's worker – aged 85. He says the staff are like family and he wouldn't be without his part-time job. Bill, a retired taxi driver, greets customers and wipes tables at the fast food outlet in Mold, Clwyd. He says he's fighting fit for his six-hour shifts every Wednesday and Thursday, despite a pacemaker, angina and a new knee. ‘Sitting at home can get boring, I'm not a drinker and my wife won't let me touch the garden, because she does all that,' the former taxi driver said. ‘A lot of the customers don't believe I'm 85. They look at me and think I'm in my 60s. I just like the job. I like talking to people and meeting people. That's why I loved the taxi work – I like solving their problems. ‘A lot of the people working here are much younger than me, like a whole different generation, but they feel like family.

New primary-school pupil Ma Xiuxian, aged 102, has proven you're never too old to learn after becoming the world's oldest first-year pupil.

World's Oldest Virgin (105 years old)
World's oldest virgin has revealed the secret of her longevity on the eve of her 105th birthday — no sex. Clara Meadmore has never had sex in her life because she has always been ‘too busy' for intimate relationships and it seemed like ‘a lot of hassle'. Miss Meadmore, who remembers the Titanic sinking and the outbreak of the First World War, said she knew she would remain single from the age of 12, and abstained as a young woman in order to concentrate on earning a living. The former secretary says she has no regrets about remaining a virgin and had turned down several marriage proposals. (Link | Via)
World's Oldest Prom Attendee (84 years old)
He arrived in style: a black limo, a sharp tuxedo, a beautiful date and an adoring crowd waiting for him. Eighty-four-year-old Kenneth Smith attended the Chester High School prom night fashionably late. Decades late. Smith was drafted into military service in 1943, before he could finish high school. He returned home after World War II but never got his high school diploma. A friend arranged for him to receive an honorary diploma from Chester High School, just outside Philadelphia, and finally go to the prom. He did — at the Springfield Country Club. Smith said this prom wasn't just for him. He said it was also for all the other soldiers who couldn't make it to their own. (Link)

She had posted over 70 entries, as well as several video posts on YouTube. Her blog (or "blob" as she called it) was inspired by her experience with documentary filmmaker Michael Rubbo who, in 2005, made a documentary about her titled All About Olive. NOTE: our reader Eric wrote us to explain an even older blogger was discovered after Olive's death.
Buster Martin (102-year-old): UK's Oldest Employee and Marathon Runner Pierre Jean "Buster" Martin claims to be the United Kingdom's oldest employee at the age of 102. Martin works for a well-known plumbing company in southeast London as a van cleaner, and notably refused to take a day off on the day he celebrated his 100th birthday. But he is also a marathon runner. After walking the 10 km (6 miles) distance of the Great Capital Run in 2 hours 22 minutes and the Roding Valley Half Marathon in 5 hours 13 minutes, Martin was entered for the 2008 London Marathon. According to press reports, he walked the 26 mile course in approximately 10 hours.
If the claims about his age are true, he could be the oldest recorded marathon participant in the world. However, officials of the Guinness World Records organization said that they did not consider Martin eligible for the record because he had never provided proof is his age.
Winifred Pristell (70-year-old): Holds two World Records in Powerlifting
Meet Winifred Pristell, 70 years old. This great-grandma they call "Heavy Metal" is a competitive weightlifter with two world records and aspirations for more. Winifred first took up the sport in her late 40’s due to her struggles with her weight. When she turned 60 she started to lift competitively in powerlifting meets. At 68, she set world records for her age in the bench press at 176.2 pounds and 270 pounds in the deadlift.
Even though she has been struggling lately with arthritis and joint issues, at 70 Winifred still works out three days a week.
Jennifer Figge (56-year-old): First Woman to Swim the Atlantic
56-year-old Jennifer Figge pressed her toes into the Caribbean sand, exhilarated and exhausted as she touched land this week for the first time in almost a month. Reaching a beach in Trinidad, she became the first woman on record to swim across the Atlantic Ocean --a dream she'd had since the early 1960s, when a stormy trans-Atlantic flight got her thinking she could don a life vest and swim the rest of the way if needed.
The 56-year-old left the Cape Verde Islands off Africa's western coast on Jan. 12, battling waves of up to 30 feet (9 meters) and strong winds. She had originally planned to swim the Bahamas, but inclement weather forced her to veer 1,000 miles (1,610 kms) off course to Trinidad.
The Great Omani (92-year-old): World's Oldest Escapologist
Ron Cunningham, who died in 2007 at the age of 92, was an escapologist and end-of the-pier artist specializing in feats such as eating light bulbs and removing a straitjacket while hanging upside down with his trousers on fire.
To impress audiences he put himself in great danger during many of his stunts using fire, water and glass at his local pub the Bedford Tavern in Brighton. It was here where he performed his last stunt in 2005. This was the escape out of handcuffs with both arms on fire with lighter fluid. He died in Brighton, East Sussex after a whisky and a cigar at his home on October 15, 2007. His last request was for a trapdoor in the hearse at his funeral. He wrote a short poem, which was read at the occasion: “They lay the Great Omani in his box / They have done it up with nails not locks / But at his funeral do not despair / Chances are he won't be there.”
Arthur Winston (100-year-old): Worked for 72 years at the same company and only took one day off
A Los Angeles Metro employee for 72 years, Arthur Winston (1906 - 2006) was known for being honored as the "Employee of the Century" because he was never late to work and only took one day off during his entire career, that being for his wife's funeral in 1988. He retired at age 100.
Bernie Marks (78-year-old): Oldest Man to have a Bar Mitzvah
It took Holocaust survivor Bernie Marks over 60 years to realize his father's and grandfathers' dreams, but he finally honored them - and Jews worldwide - by having a bar mitzvah, the Jewish ceremony that marks the symbolic passage to manhood.
When he was 13, he was living in a Polish ghetto under Nazi rule. Later, his family was sent to Auschwitz where he last saw his mother and brother. Marks and his father were sent to a labor camp until they were liberated by US forces in 1945. So now, 66 years later, in a strong, melodic voice that moved some at Sacramento Congregation B'nai Israel to tears, Marks chanted the Hebrew passages with his daughters and grandchildren looking on.
Brownie Mary (70-year-old): Medical Cannabis Activist
Popularly known as "Brownie Mary", Mary Jane Rathbun (1923 - 1999) was an American hospital volunteer who became internationally known as a medical cannabis activist. Brownie Mary was famous for baking and distributing "Alice B. Toklas brownies" and volunteering in the AIDS ward of San Francisco General Hospital. She was active in efforts to legalize cannabis use for people with AIDS, cancer, glaucoma, and other diseases. In 1992, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors declared August 25 "Brownie Mary Day."
"My kids [people with AIDS and cancer] need this and I'm ready to go to jail for my principles... I'm not going to cut any deals with them. If I go to jail, I go to jail," she once said.
She was named a "Living Saint" in 1994 at the San Francisco Saints Alive Benefit. In 1997 the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence dubbed her "Saint Brownie kungfu queen Mary" at Mary's request as she was a lifelong atheist. Mary was also included in the Sisters' Nuns of the Above AIDS Memorial Quilt for her work with and advocating for people with AIDS. Brownie Mary died of a heart attack at a Laguna Honda nursing home for the poor at age 77.
