    Woman, 102, survives fall from window

    Doctors in Turin have hailed a 102-year-old woman a "miracle" after she fell out of a fourth-floor window and survived with just a few scratches.

    The Italian centenarian lost her balance and fell out of the window of the retirement home where she lived, reports the Ansa news agency.

    Staff at the home found the elderly lady lying in the courtyard and called an ambulance.

    The woman had suffered no broken bones or other serious injuries and just had a few bruises and scratches.

    A hospital spokesman said: "It's a miracle she wasn't killed, yet alone had no broken bones. All that good Mediterranean food and olive oil has kept her strong."

    ---------------------------------

    Of course they found her lying in the courtyard...what did they expect?

    An Italian folk dance?

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
    Together we stand
    Divided we fall.

    I laugh, therefore? I am.

    Wow. Tough old granny.

    And, Richard, thanks! I NEVER knew what he was saying here .... "They're beating plowshares into swords"

    "We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam

    "We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
