Only if she died a non-ironic death.

It would be interesting to test this probability. So below is a list of 20 randomly selected 96-year old women without any regards to specific health problems that they might have. Let's see how many are still with us on March 30, 2016One thing that you might want to consider: the 25% figure should be true if you pick random 96 yo females from the general population. On the other hand, a list of 20 celebrities might have some special characteristics, introducing "systemic bias". Bias #1 - money. Not all celebrities are filthy rich, but on average, they are wealthier than random members of the general population. In countries like the US, this can significantly influence the quality of healthcare services that they can afford, and consequently, it might improve their survival rates. Bias #2 - attention. Unfortunately, ordinary elderly people without living (close) relatives might be neglected. Celebrities, on the other hand, are less likely to suffer this fate, they have the status and financial means to get more attention or hire privare nurses etc. Bias #3 - lifestyle. etc.

Bit late for that April fools joke. Surely he'd want to stay alive to visit the home of UK monarchy, Germany, in June. State visit coming up? He's bound to mention the war.

Only if she died a non-ironic death. Entirely possible, I'd imagine most people have seen this, but in case you haven't, Ed Byrne explains irony to Alanis. I didn't know that one, but yes, such a rant was on my mind. I watched a few more clips by Byrne; pretty funny chap, that.

Dave "Devilfish" Ulliot, hero to many a student/unemployed layabout in the early 2000s because of "Late Night Poker", has colon cancer pretty bad. Not so much a "possibility for 2016" as a "possibility for the first week of April 2015".

It would be difficult to say Particularly for Joni Mitchell.

It would be difficult to say You don't know what you've got till its gone.

Only if she died a non-ironic death. Maybe if she had one hand in her pocket and the other was hailing a taxicab and the cab hit her.

One of the last surviving Doolittle Raiders, Lt. Col. Robert Hite, dies of Alzheimer's at 95. Thanks for for service. RIP SirC "Hite's death leaves two other surviving Raiders: retired Lt. Col. Richard "Dick" Cole of Texas, who was Doolitte's co-pilot, and Staff Sgt. David Thatcher of Montana." http://www.latimes.com/local/obituaries/la-me-robert-hite-20150331-story.html

If Alanis Morrissette died I would post it here Don't you think?

I would like to take the time to explain this to you but I fear it would not reflect well on the entire British people if I did. Erm, remember his people gave the world "I'm lovin it", so.. easy on the shame there.

Apparently with traumatic rectal injury (http://www.news.com.au/world/oil-heir-andrew-getty-found-dead-in-los-angeles-mansion-with-traumatic-rectal-injury/story-fndir2ev-1227287609232). Perhaps he was trying to hide some of the family fortune Alternatively if he had used some of his family's oil his injury might not had been so traumatic...

So he didn't want to stick around for the chicks........ you trying to say he was more like Felcher Christian then? Nope, I'm trying to say it's a little known conspiracy theory. I'm assuming once the novelty of the shaggathon had worn off life on the Pitcairn Islands was probably pretty hard and boring (same faces, same struggle to grow enough to survive on, lacking in entertainment). He was Manx, he'd be used to that. :referee: :referee: :referee: :referee: FLETCHER CHRISTIAN WAS CUMBRIAN!!!!! Briefly resided in fuckin' MARYPORT (born near Cockermouth) Granted, his dad was Manx.

A lot of them are dead.

Here's a qualifying obit from The Independent

Bloody hell.The House of Commons s going to have more fathers in the next parliament than Katie Prices children ! There will be only one Father. Assuming they all get re-elected then it will be the one who made their maiden speech first. Which one will that be? Its actually who got sworn in first by the Speaker back in 1970, which happens to be Gerald Kaufman. Hence why he opened the Speaker debate last week.

That might be hyperbole. The 1992 election was very close. The BBC were planning to go to broadcast with a picture of Neil Kinnock to start with but at the last minute they changed it for a split screen of both him and John Major. The two elections of 1974 are of course very close and the 2010 election was the closest of them all resulting in the first formal coalition for over 70 years. The question is why is this election close we have had five horrible years where it has become evident that we are not "All in it together". My only conclusion is that the Conservatives have created an illusion that it is all the Lib Dems fault and it will all be great tomorrow. Just a note on Cameron and the Third Term issue. What you have to remember about Cameron, for all his faults and insincerity he is as nice as the party gets. If you take a look over the possibly replacements bastards to a man (including Theresa May). Cameron is there because his party need him, not because the want him. Good point, the runners and riders informally nominated by Cameron in his interview notably omitted the odious Michael Gove (known to harbour leadership ambitions and conspicuously available to Newsnight on the day of Cameron's announcement). Cameron may have more of the John Major/keeping a lid on the nest of vipers quality than people have given him credit for. If he fails to deliver a Conservative government in a few weeks it'll be open season on him soon after.

Greatly enjoying this afternoon's BBC Radio Four play on Patrick, which is making some mileage from the touchy area of his involvement with the infamous Cedric Allingham/Flying Saucer from Mars UFO hoax.

Man found...dead...in graveyard...after tripping over...tombstone. Ultimate. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/man-found-dead-cemetery-after-5422683

Padding your post stats w this moving entry. A local butcher? I'll bet all the top butchers in Burnley have gone to theatres in Estonia. SC Quite possible. After he closed his shop, he went on a cruise with his wife to Estonia: http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/burnley/11337202.Popular_Burnley_butcher_to_close_shop_as_he_battles_cancer/?ref=rss “I will be going on a cruise around Norway, Sweden and Estonia with Helen. We were going to go to the Caribbean but I can’t be out in the sun very long now.”

The Greek royals aren't actually Greek at all. They descend from a Danish prince who was invited to be King of Greece, and his wife who was Russian. Just like we invited a bunch of Germans to be monarchs because everyone else was Catholic.

Wasn´t it Ed Sullivan who brought The Beatles to the USA?? Wasn't it Ed Sullivan who brought The Beatles to the USA?? No, it was pan am.

Canadian documentary director John Driftmier has died in a plane crash. He was killed while filming for the series Dangerous Flights.
