Jeanne Calment is also the woman who had a sort of reverse mortgage on her apartment, bought by Andre-Francois Raffray when she was (supposedly) 90 and he was 30. He thought she was so old that it was a good investment, and he would soon own the aparment. 47 years later, he still didn't have the apartment, and was still paying her a yearly fee, when he died at 77.
My math, as usual, is a bit off. He was 47 years old, and died 30 years later.

Thanks for the link to the article on healthy vegetables. But the article contains a misprint: the wording makes it appear that Brussel sprouts are an edible substance. ;-)
