A tough old sheep farmer from northern England gave some advice to his granddaughter back at the start of the Great War in 1914.
He told her that the secret to a long life was to sprinkle a pinch of gunpowder onto her breakfast every morning.
The granddaughter followed this dictum religiously until her death at the venerable age of 109.
She left behind 14 children, 30 grandchildren, 45 great-grandchildren, 25 great-great-grandchildren and a 20 metre hole where the crematorium used to be.

For a minute I thought you were making a serious post!
