The Dean of mankind 114 years!

"Today (Wednesday) the Guinness Book of Records, world authority in the awarding of this title, may confirm that the Brazilian Maria Valentim Gomes won the title of oldest person in the world, aged 114 years and 313 days, "reported the Guinness on his web page. Maria Valentim Gomes was born July 9, 1896 in the village of Carangola in south-east of the country where she still resides today.

She has a son, 4 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. Asked by Guinness, she said her longevity was due to its "healthy diet" including "a glass of wine from time to time."
