She says her secret to her longevity is unknown even to her, but we all know it's from watching butt tons of anime, I mean imagine 42,705 days (117 years) worth of anime completed on your MAL profile. You'd be boss for sure! Also worth noting her husband died in 1931 and she lived through the entire 20th century, just to make you feel smaller~~~ Anyways, happy birthday to her. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| Question: Does she eat dogs? |
Happy Halloween  |

| japanese are eating healthy thats how they break age records but at thesame time there are many japanese that dies from overwork there so i doubt she will live that long if she work for the long working hours in the anime industry for example |

| Surprised she isn't from Okinawa. That place relatively has 4x the amount of centenarians than any other place on earth. |

| Isn't the oldest person always Japanese? It's because of the way they eat. Japanese food is plain and nutritious. |

| I heard that a Japanese person who spends a combined time of 5 days in the rain without an umbrella without dying due to a cold grows a second tail and gets eternal life. |

| That's really... impressive. |
 |
| When she was born China still had an Imperial Dynasty ruling its lands. She's lived through the reign of 4 Japanese Emperors and 20 American Presidents. |

Dog meat is a delicacy and it is more or less an acquired taste similar to stinky tofu in beijing and durians in hong kong. On a side note, why is the eating of dog meat illegal? We eat chickens and pigs, but is it because dogs are cute so therefore we shouldn't eat them? Why don't we consider pigs cute? |

riqueterremoto said: No, it's different for each nationality. In America you have to have a spotless and neatly trimmed lawn and keep all kids and kids toys off of it for 10 years straight then you get a rocking chair bestowed from the heavens and as long as you stay connected to it most of the day you will not die. That's why old guys are always yelling to get off their lawn.IntroverTurtle said: I heard that a Japanese person who spends a combined time of 5 days in the rain without an umbrella without dying due to a cold grows a second tail and gets eternal life.

| How many people born in the 19th century are still alive? Sad to know they will probably be extinct within the next decade |

| She looks sad. |
 |
| I'm gonna beat her in age. Just you wait. |

I'd swear they even have a special breed of dogs meant for consumption. |

 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
