If Michael Dukakis was elected senator right now, he would still not be the oldest Senator currently serving

Chuck Grassley would still be older than dukakis.

These are the three (or four) last living women who were born before the Queen Mother of the UK. (Don't mind if the title needs rephrasing. )

The Queen Mother's life spanned from 1900 to 2002, and her longevity is often discussed in this forum. However, it is truly mind-blowing to learn that until 2017, there were a few women alive who were born prior to the Queen Mother. For context, the Queen Mother was born on August 4, 1900. Nabi Tajima was born on the exact same day as the Queen Mother, but I still include her in this list.

The 4 women are

(1) Susanna-Mushatt Jones (1899-2016)

(2) Emma Morano (1899-2017)

(3) Violet Brown (1900-2017 : also the last living Victorian ) and

(4) Nabi Tajima (1900- 2018 )

When Naomi Whitehead was born, Dwight Eisenhower was about as old as Clavicular is today.

To be more specific, he was 19 years old and would remain so for a few more weeks. That would make him about 4 months younger than Clavicular, who has been 20 since December.

Between Apollo 17 and Artemis II, the world population went from under 4 billion to over 8 billion.

The time gap between the end of World War 1 to the Apollo 17 splash landing is the same as the gap betweenApollo 17 and the Artemis II splash landing

1918 + 54 = 1972

1972 + 54 = 2026

The 10 oldest living people (APRIL 2026)

I have included both the 10 oldest living people and 10 oldest living men. The numbers what position they are for the oldest person ever. So for example if a man has a #19 under his rank, he is the 19th oldest man whilst if a woman has a #19 they are the 19th oldest person ever.

All images are the most recent of each person.

Similar to my other series of posts, this is going to be a monthly to bi-monthly thing I update.

If the major candidates of the 1912 presidential election all live as long as Jeanne Calment, they all could've seen the American Bicentennial, the first Star Wars movie, and the release of the Atari 2600.
