Those Old People are Dropping Like Flies

BBC

I read this article out of confusion as I thought it was old news, but apparently not. The oldest person in the world died last week too. Mrs Tillman was only the oldest person in the world for one week. What I found interesting though is that one the side they list related articles. Apparently on December 12th the oldest person died, on January 19th the oldest woman died, on January 24th the oldest person died, and now on January 29th the oldest person died. At this rate, by the end of the year, the oldest person in the world will be 36.

Also, there's a typo at the bottom of the page (as of 2PM) that has the new oldest person in the world as 9 years older than the one that just died.
