157 year old woman will smoke your spices

Gasp and stuff. But then again, no papers, so no proof. All they have to go by is her word.

People got scammed by this woman badly.

Couldn’t they, I don’t know, carbon date her bones when she dies?

That’s the problem: That means she would die, and if we discover she was lying we wouldn’t be able to punish her by binding her to a chair and let water drop on her head of 2 weeks straight. After that we can put her in an Asylum.

That doesn’t work.

This is clearly legitimate. I mean, if it wasn’t, she’d be lying, and people don’t do that, right?

I don’t think carbon dating is precise to that point, in general its errors are decades of years (it is good to determine old stuff). And AFAIK carbon dating determines age up from the death, not birth, because your carbon is constantly exchanged with the environment carbon while you live.

IIRC The age of people is measured by the hand bones. Not sure it will work in old people, though.

Can’t a DNA analysis confirm her age?

Short answer: not at the moment.

Oh fuck it, just cut her in half and count the rings…

Old joke is old. :slight_smile:

It’s appropriate then.

bahahahahahhahahaahahahaha

You won one free internets.

Who’s paying for all these internets anyway?

The server hosts. Which brings me onto this: Please please click on the adverts once a day on here, they’re barely breaking even.

After the news of the Indonesian smoking baby I thought this thread was about a 157-year-old smoking pot. I was disappointed.

Doesn’t everybody? I doubt I ever clicked on an ad, ever. I made tons of them, though.
