This is a really bizarre tangent that's veered way off the original point, but I don't like to see misinformation spread. I live in a pretty sparsely populated part of soutthern Oregon - the entire county I live in has less than 200,000 people - & I personally know 5 people over 100 who live here (ok, two actually died within the last month, at 103 & 105). There are quite a few assisted living homes for the elderly here, so I'm sure there are many more as well. Don't know where that 1 in a million statistic comes from - it may be skewed due to the effects of such factors as war, disease & poverty - but living to 100 is definitely not that rare...
