She was 117.

The Italian was born on November 29, 1899. She held the Guinness World Record titles for oldest living person and oldest living woman.

"She joined our celebrated hall of fame with her amazing achievement when she was announced in 2016 as the oldest living female, and was officially confirmed as the last person to be born in the 1800s," Guinness World Records said in a statement on its website.

It said it will announce a new oldest person after reviewing evidence.

"I didn't want to be dominated by anyone," she told The New York Times of her 1938 separation from her husband.

And despite her age, Morano had a childlike love of cookies, her doctor Carlo Bava said. So much so, she routinely hid them under her pillow so no one would eat them.

She was five years younger than Jeanne Calment, the 122-year-old who held the title for oldest person ever.

Guinness said the oldest living man is Israel Kristal, a Holocaust survivor who turned 113 in September.

April Fools pranks totally gone right by Funimation and Adultswim

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Before this weekend, Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's cult animated sci-fi buddy comedy Rick and Morty hadn't released new episodes since October 2015. Harmon promised the return of the series' genius-sidekick tag team (Rick is the genius, Morty is his grandson) by the end of last year, but failed to deliver. The delay developed into a good-natured inside joke between audience and creator: An Adult Swim press release from January announcing the launch of a spinoff site ended with a curt "no, we don't have a premiere date yet."

And then, on April 1:

The page on Adult Swim's website airing the livestream was winkingly labeled "April Fools," but this was for real. The network showed the first episode of the new season in a constant loop until midnight on each coast. (There's still no proper premiere date, though a commercial-break announcement said more will come this summer.) The stunt was an anti-April Fools' joke, all the surprise with none of the forced dad humor: The joke was that we'd think it was a joke before realizing this was legit. The byzantine gag successfully channeled Rick and Morty 's head-spinning nonconformity into a release strategy.

This isn't the first time Rick and Morty has experimented with nontraditional promo; Adult Swim used to put episodes on YouTube free of charge for a full week after their release, an approach that defied logic by successfully driving up viewership for the next week's live broadcast. This event is, however, the first time the show has capitalized on the reach, devotion, and most importantly, demand of its now well-established base by converting them into an adrenaline-amped communal experience. I was in a movie theater waiting for the trailers to start when the tweets and texts started rolling in, and I instantly recognized the feeling: This was exactly -  exactly - how it felt when Lemonade hit while I was at a Passover seder last year. Social media soon bore that impression out. For a very specific, very intense part of the internet, this was the television equivalent of a Beyoncé drop, with the hyperventilating to match.

Once I'd rushed home and tuned into the stream just as the episode was starting anew, I found a show that delivered something just for the diehards. Rick and Morty returned in the most Rick and Morty way possible: with 21 minutes as dense, prickly, and nihilistic as any that came before it - and what came before Rick and Morty's third season included this uplifting closer to what, on this show, passes for a motivational speech: "Nobody exists on purpose. Nobody belongs anywhere. Everybody's gonna die. Come watch TV?"

For those unfamiliar with Rick and Morty, the premise is a demented riff on a Back to the Future-esque setup: A mad scientist (Rick, voiced by Roiland) and his grandson (Morty, also voiced by Roiland) go on intergalactic adventures. But it takes that premise to an almost inconceivably dark place best described as "from the self-loathing, painfully self-aware mind that brought you Community taken off the network leash." This is a show that asks questions like: How sociopathic, lonely, and bored would the smartest man in the universe actually be? What kind of abandonment issues would he then pass on to his daughter? How would his daughter take those issues out on the loser husband she got stuck with and the kids she had too early? It also answers them with shrewdly meta comic scenarios and absurdist gross-out humor that showcase the quickest, most caustic writing on TV that's not by Tina Fey. But the line-for-line laugh frequency just makes Rick and Morty more twisted, not less bleak.

"The Rickshank Redemption" is dedicated to those larger themes and that long-term plot, resulting in an episode that's hostile to newcomers but catnip to dedicated viewers who went out of their way to catch Saturday's broadcast. Apparently recognizing the destruction and chaos he brings to his loved ones, Rick has turned himself in to intergalactic supermax prison; in his absence, Earth has been occupied by the generic, ripped-from- Star Trek Galactic Federation. Through various machinations that include telepathically generated farts, body-swapping, and an interdimensional consortium of Ricks, Rick and Morty eases itself back into something approaching a status quo. By the end of "Redemption," Rick is free. The Federation is gone. Our dynamic duo (and sometimes Morty's sister, and sometimes his mom) can start having fun again.

But this is Rick and Morty, where there is no status quo that isn't the punch line of some sick, all-encompassing joke. Here, it's the final revelation of Rick's self-identified, extra-meta "series arc": He'd rescued his grandkids from the Federation not out of obligation, or, God forbid, love, but so his daughter would choose him over her husband, upending Morty's home life. And he'd done all that in pursuit of ... hunting down a limited-edition McNugget sauce McDonald's released as a Mulan promotion in 1998. What a hysterical, unhinged reveal. What a gut punch. What a commitment to the ever-deepening blackness at the heart of this show. Rick and Morty is starting Season 3 the most Rick and Morty it's ever been.

On Rick and Morty, nothing has a higher purpose. There's no hugging or learning, let alone growth. Nothing means anything. Come watch TV?

"You shouldn't change the rules. You should change the nominee," said Schumer, who predicted on "Meet the Press" that Gorsuch will not receive the support of 60 senators.

"It's a big deal," said Norm Orenstein, scholar at the center-right American Enterprise Institute. "You have a situation where you have rules and you have norms of behavior. The rules provide some significant check, but you still gotta operate with norms."

And while both Republicans and Democrats are aware of the calamity of the impending outcome, they also recognize that damage might be beyond repair after years of increased partisanship.

Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona has been engaged in conversations with some of his Republican and Democratic colleagues to stave off the worst-case scenario, but those haven't yet led to true negotiations.

Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) is one of the Democratic senators McCain has spoken to, but Coons said there is "not a lot of common ground" to work with.

"There is not a lot of trust between Republicans and Democrats in the Senate," Coons told NBC News.

Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Missouri who is up for re-election in 2018 in a state that Trump won, announced her opposition to Gorsuch on Friday, and said she'd go a step further and support a filibuster against him. She admitted in a Medium post that her decision could have deep political ramifications in the future.

"I remain very worried about our polarized politics and what the future will bring, since I'm certain we will have a Senate rule change that will usher in more extreme judges in the future." McCaskill wrote.

Democrats forced a rules change in 2013 after Senate Republicans blocked most of President Barack Obama's judicial nominees and several cabinet positions. The "nuclear option" imposed then reduced the threshold for passage from 60 votes to 51 votes for all cabinet and judicial positions other than the Supreme Court, allowing Obama's nominees to pass. It's a decision that Schumer has said he laments.

But McConnell's refusal to even consider President Barack Obama's Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland, not giving him a hearing or even holding meetings, inflamed tensions.

The Republican leader has cited election-year politics as the reason for that decision - and it is one that Democrats admit is playing into their considerations on Gorsuch, who would assume the seat that has sat vacant since Justice Antonin Scalia died more than a year ago.

"As I talk to Democrats, I think we are all outraged at how Merrick Garland was treated in the process and that got us to where we are today. As I talk to Republicans, they remind me of the 2013 changes in rules," Coons said. "And frankly there is a long list of back and forth, back and forth about we believe they badly mistreated Barack Obama's nominees and they believe that Barack Obama overreached and that we were oblivious or unconcerned about their issues to executive overreach."

At least 11 people died today after a bomb exploded on a subway train traveling between two stations in St. Petersburg, Russia, according to the country's health minister.

Interested in Russia Investigation?

Add Russia Investigation as an interest to stay up to date on the latest Russia Investigation news, video, and analysis from ABC News.

The blast, which took place at 2:40 p.m. local time, happened between the Sennaya Ploshad station and the Technological Institute station. At least 45 people were hospitalized from the blast.

Russia's Investigative Committee called it an "undetermined explosive device." The committee, which is the country's primary federal investigative authority, has opened a criminal probe into what it has classified as a terrorist attack.

Pictures showed passengers appearing to flee a smoke-filled station as well as what appeared to be a mangled train car.

An improvised explosive device rigged with shrapnel was also found in a third St. Petersburg station, the Ploshchad Vosstaniya station. It was defused by bomb technicians and no one was hurt, officials said.

Russia's Interfax news agency reported that authorities believe this was a suicide attack carried out by a 23-year-old from Central Asia. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitri Peskov said tonight that the suicide bomber theory has not been confirmed by investigators, according to state-run TASS news agency.

Peskov said Russian President Vladimir Putin has been briefed on the preliminary results of the investigation.

President Trump called the attack "a terrible thing."

"Terrible. Terrible thing. Happening all over the world. Absolutely a terrible thing," he said.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer today condemned the St. Petersburg attack, saying, "Our thoughts and prayers are with the injured as we extend our deepest condolences to the loved ones."

"Attacks like these on ordinary citizens going about their lives remind us that the world must work as one to combat violence in all forms," Spicer said at a White House press briefing in Washington. "The United States is prepared to offer assistance to Russia and may require investigating this crime."

Mark Toner, acting spokesperson for the U.S. State Department, said in a statement, "The United States condemns today's reprehensible attack on passengers of the St. Petersburg metro system. We extend our deepest condolences to the loved ones of those who were killed, and our thoughts and prayers are with those injured in the attack and with the Russian people."

Putin, who is in St. Petersburg for a forum, spoke in front of cameras after the explosion, alongside the president of Belarus, Aleksander Lukashenko.

"The causes are not yet clear, and so it's still early to talk about that, the investigation will show," Putin said. "But, naturally, we always examine all versions, ordinary and criminal - above all, incidents of a terrorist character."

The entire St. Petersburg subway system, which serves some 2 million riders a day, was shut down and evacuated. The subway system has since resumed operations.

Three days of mourning will be observed in St. Petersburg beginning Tuesday, according to Russian officials.
