There's nothing we like better here at Defamer Australia than a faintly idiotic human interest story (Cat stuck in tree! Man carries BBQ on motorcycle! Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are still married!) and today's might just be the best ever: introducing Ivy Bean, the world's oldest member of Generation Facebook, at a sprightly 102! That's right, she might have been born in 1905, but Ivy is going to poke you like there's no tomorrow and hit 'Maybe' on all of your event invites - and just wait until you see how many Slayer points she has!

Although Mrs Bean currently only has nine Facebook friends, she said she 'loves being online' and is hoping for many more.

 

Her carers have set up a group called 'Oldest person on Facebook' and regularly post news, photos and videos about their most famous resident.

You can also become a fan of Ivy at her Facebook Page, which boasts an impressive 6984 fans so far, and features poignant and timeless messages of support like the following, from Leah in Wales:

It's all about the friendsxxxxxx, Ivy, it's all about the friendsxxxxxx.
