114-Year-Old Woman Has To Lie About Age To Join Facebook We can think of plenty of reasons people would lie about their age -- pride, vanity, or to get into the coolest club. But Anna Stoehrs reason was much, much simpler: she just wanted to join Facebook. The centenarian who just celebrated her 114th birthday felt her age when she tried to create a Facebook account recently, only to discover that the social networking sites options for date-of-birth only go back as far as 1905. Stoehr was born in 1900. Stoehr, who holds the title of Minnesotas oldest resident, has become tech-savvy in recent days, after striking up a friendship with Verizon salesman Joseph Ramireza, Minneapolis KARE-11 reports. Ramireza came to know of Stoehr when he sold an iPhone to her 85-year-old son and was astounded that his mother was 113 years old. Since meeting Ramireza, the centenarian has learned how to Facetime, Google and yes, even Facebook -- albeit as a 99 year old. And shes not the only savvy senior to take to social media. Last year we wrote about our favorite Instagram-pa Rex Redstone, who at 85, is one of the picture-sharing apps oldest users. And we think Stoehr might have just de-throned Edythe Kirchmaier, the 106 year old who has been dubbed the worlds oldest registered Facebook user. Stoehr has since penned a letter to Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg, telling him, Im still here. youtu.be/-XDf4jCwevM
