The coolest lady I've ever seen
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,,26196450-2702,00.html
If it's gonna be a tl;dr situation, the article is about this 100-year old lady who recently competed at the World Masters Games and threw a new world record in the shot put
Albeit the world record was for her age group, and was only 4.07m...but what a dude! I really, really love it when old people don't subscribe to the old person mentality.
Some choice quotes:
"Don't eat vegetables, because I never eat vegetables. I know people that like diets that will scream at me, (but) don't eat vegetables. I never have."
"the great-grandmother ... bench presses 35kg"
Awesome, awesome, awesome.
...in other news, how fricken funny is it, seeing old people throw a shot put: http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/gallery/0,26637,5061200-17382-20,00.html
