"1. The oldest person in the world is immortal.
2. In the time it takes to read this poster eighteen people were born, and seven people died.
3. My paternal grandmother Hilda Clayton lived to be one hundred years old. In her last few months of life, as her body slowly unravelled, my dad would ask her how she was. "Getting better every day, David!”, she always replied.
4. For a fraction of a second, each one of us has held the title of being the world’s youngest person. "
