No. of Japanese centenarians hits record 67,824

Now thats impressive!

Also an impressive amount of nappies!

In the past, centenarians were presented with cups of pure silver by the country's prime minister, but from last year the government decided to switch to silver-plated cups to cut costs.

Abe is one けち (kechi) dude!

What about Okinawa percentage wise?

That's over 6782400 years, or 2475576000 days of human experience.

All recorded and accessible via the art of communication.

What impresses me more, is not, just in Japan, but in Asia in general, how the elderly persons are way more able than their Western counterparts.

The figure rose for the 47th consecutive year, with women accounting for 87.9 percent of the total, according to the population estimate for Sept. 15, based on resident registry data as of Sept. 1, the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry said.

Woah! That is an interesting statistic...!
