Can we go back to last week's study about living longer if you have acne?

I know it's a dumb observation but if the natural ceiling is 115 years how come we already have a 122 year example?

I have an 80 year old friend who visited a chiropractor for sciatica. She was asked to complete a questionnaire which included the following question:

"What is your vision of your life 30 years from now?"

She responded: "I'll be dead."

She's in pretty good shape, so I wouldn't count on it.

I thought maybe relativistic effects from her career as an astronaut, that can only explain a few extra seconds apparently.

So I guess its down to a statistical fluke.
