Let me see, Jeanne Louise Calment is older than 120 and still alive.
On the other hand, I know of a man who died at the age of 120 here
in Japan last week. One alive, one died, so that would seem to
provide further support for my side. Though I'd love to continue in
this facetious vein, I'm afraid we're drifting off topic here.
