104-year-old forced to lie about her age on Facebook because profiles were designed to only go up to 99

Friend request: At 104 years old, Marguerite Joseph has been active on Facebook for the last few years
Most people would be delighted to be stuck at the same age for a while, but for Maguerite Joseph, it has been disappointing. The 104-year-old Michigan woman, who has been active on Facebook for the last few years, says she is unable to post her actual age on the site because it exceeds 99. Since Mrs Joseph is legally blind and hard of hearing, her granddaughter Gail Marlow updates her profile page for her each day and responds to her messages.Ms Marlow says that when she tries inputting her grandmother's birth year as 1908, Facebook changes it to 1928 with a message that says 'unknown error.' So for the past two years, the Grosse Pointe Shores centenarian has remained 99 - online, anyway.
