The number of people aged over 100 in Japan, according to government estimates. Japan has set new records every year for the last 55 years for the number centenarians in the country. The oldest woman is 114, while the oldest man is 111 — 88% of the centenarians are female. Japan has low obesity rates and high levels of activity in later life, the BBC reported, which are likely contributing factors. Although another contributing factor may be that some of the hundred-not-out cohort have in fact been dead for some time. In 2010 researchers found that “Tokyo’s oldest man” had been dead for 32 of his reported 111 years and was lying mummified in bed while his family collected his pension.

@Stubble Maybe it will be different this time.

Sunday's the day of rest because the landowners and robber barons reluctantly realized that working us Monday through Saturday was the best option. They knew that working us 7 days a week, week in and week out, wouldn't be good, so they gave us off on Sundays.
