SHE’S THE WORLD’S OLDEST LIVING FELINE
(Fox News) – A nearly 27-year-old cat from England has been
named the world’s oldest living cat by Guinness World Records
.
Flossie, the record-breaking feline, received verification from
the world record reference guide, on Nov. 10, according to a
press release.
Guinness World Records says Flossie was born on Dec. 29, 1995,
and she received her verification at the "nyan-tastic age of 26
years 316 days."
The world record guide claims Flossie’s age is "equivalent" to
about "120 human years."
Owner Vicki Green stated,“I knew from the start that Flossie was
a special cat, but I didn’t imagine I’d share my home with a world
record holder.”
The British brown and black cat received official recognition from Guinness World Records on Thursday.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Rolling Stones plan to release what
they’re calling their "ultimate live greatest hits album," with
appearances by Lady Gaga, Bruce Springsteen, Gary Clark Jr.
and The Black Keys, early next year.

Only Rock ‘n’ Roll (But I Like It)," "Honky Tonk Women," "Start
Me Up," "Sympathy For the Devil" and "(I Can’t Get No)
Satisfaction."
CRACKER JACK IDEA FOR A HOLIDAY SNACK
Cracker Jack is a brand of snack food well known for being
packaged with a prize of trivial value inside.
The Cracker Jack name and slogan, "The More You Eat The
More You Want", were registered in 1896. Some food
historians consider Cracker Jack to be the first junk food.
The origin of sugar-coated popcorn with a mixture of peanuts
is unknown, but periodicals document its manufacture and
sale in North America as far back as the early 19th century.
The Freeport, Illinois Daily Journal newspaper published on
January 29, 1857, for example, contains an advertisement by
a local merchant selling sugar-coated popcorn.
The Cracker Jack brand has been owned and marketed by
Frito-Lay since 1997.
