Christopher Walken is 80. (Soon to continue walking without rhythm in Dune Part 2 later this year)

Love the use of caps lock on a typo. INDICATED. SAD! Fucker reminds me of Ceciliain.

Richard Chamberlain, the attractive American film, stage and television actor and singer, the "King of the Miniseries", with estimable works such as "Centennial", "Shogun", and "The Thorn Birds" (the second most watched miniseries of all time behind "Roots"), who first rose to fame as the young intern, Dr. Kildare, in the popular medical drama of the same name, is 89 today. Volker Schlöndorff, the prominent German actor, film director, producer, and screenwriter, one of the most interesting filmmakers of his generation, whose great film, "Die Blechtrommel" ("The Tin Drum") (1979) (his masterpiece), won both the Palm d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and whose excellent filmography includes "A Free Woman", "The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum", "Coup de Grâce", "Circle of Deceit", "Swann in Love", "The Handmaid's Tale", "Voyager", "The Ogre", "Palmetto", "The Legend of Rita", "The Ninth Day", "Strike", "Calm at Sea", and "Diplomacy", is 84 today.

If you want to take a gamble... Business ally of Venezuelan president Maduro, Alex Saab is in an American prison, and has a possible recurrence of stomach cancer, a bacterial infection, a broken molar because of beatings, anemia, anorexia, diabetes type 2, hypothryoidism, hypertension, and a high risk of thromboemblic disease: https://www.workers.org/2023/03/69987/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Saab

It was a boring day. A very boring day. The most boringest day in the history of the world. No one can have a BORINGER day than I can. Any UNTRUE CLAIMS that other people have had more boring days than me are from rADICAL WOKE LEFT FAKE NEWS LEFTIES ON THE LEFT. SAD!!

I’d have put my house, my car and all my possessions on Barbie Girl being one of the first five or six out. And there it is. In the top 3. Staggering.

Queen Silvia of Sweden ill, but apparently nothing serious.

Both of whom you’d leave in a burning building to save a potato. ‘Happy’ birthday thread my arse.

Fair point. Apologies for the dig. I don’t agree that I’m merely relying on precedent. This court has shown itself to have its fair share of textualists and pragmatists and I absolutely do not believe that Reed would be overturned. Further more the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Pay Act along with many other congressional acts would remain in place which ban sex discrimination in both the public and private spheres. The ERA that we have now “ready to go” is both redundant and poorly thought out. No one has ever done a decent job explaining how it would not create a sex-blind jurisprudence. Laws meant to support the advancement of women in society would be undermined; just as anti-discrimination statutes are being used to dismantle affirmative action. Even Title IX would be compromised by the ERA. Furthermore the ERA only bans discrimination by the government. It’s a lousy law. Even Justice Ginsburg thought it should be thrown out in favor of something more nuanced. There are many sexual disparities in US society but the ERA won’t fix them, and it may even exacerbate them.

oh god our "jefferson lives." lol

you could in theory be 103 and sworn in. there should be no line drawn. that would require amending the Constitution which is difficult and it's a waste of time on this issue. I'm more interested in getting something like equal rights for women added to the Constitution.

Political satirist Mark Russell is a rare hit for me here https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/30/arts/mark-russell-piano-playing-political-satirist-dies-at-90.html

I literally cried with laughter at the final scene of S1. Rest assured there are equally LOL moments in store! I did enjoy it, but felt it was starting to drift as you suggest. I shall still watch as the characters are so engaging.

He looked pretty sickly at the funeral, and was spry just a few years ago. Doesn't seem he'll make 90.

If it was pre-arranged for testing or treatment, I doubt it'd have made the news...

I feel Lamichhane is 119 because there have been January 1934 census records proving her age. And I do feel Mr. Flores Flores is also the age claimed, but we'll know for sure if these early life documents surface. Personally, I have not seen any evidence AGAINST these cases, but I'm not saying it's not out there. But you are right I've seen so much fakery its hard to know these days. There are families who claim to have an SC relative when their inner motivation is just to be on the big screen for having a relative who's WOLP. No disrespect toward Bandang of course, but he does not look nearly 113 and I'm not entirely sure of being open to the possibility he's the age claimed. He himself might believe he's turning 113 this month, but his family knows the truth and they might be going along with his claim in order to get some media attention. Not saying he's fake, but not saying he's got a high chance of being his age though. And I cannot believe Zak keeps posting his videos on here! Zak has some good theories about Calment but my god he needs to start posting more evidence rather than just the same thing over and over again I've watched his Calment theory videos and they go in one big long Loop. He has no new debatable evidence. I spoke with Zak a while back, and I told him I was behind him 100% on his signature theory and a couple of other things, but I told him he needs to explain things more simply rather than to just use all this circular logic to keep trying to convince people of the same thing over and over again. Personally I doubt Calment was 122, and I have a very unique perspective on how I came about to that conclusion. This is off topic but I'd like to add this here since it's been on my mind for a while. I'm VERY glad that Robert Young has been banned from the110club! Cheers! It's a lot more pleasant on there without some condescending jerk talking down to everyone and treating people like their some piece of filth lying in a gutter. If he's gonna act like that then he absolutely deserves to be banned and fired as president from LQ. And to think that he had the audacity to go on the global supercentenarian forum and spy on us, and to badger people for information is beyond me. Yeah, we've got a 2nd pandemic on the move and it's called "Robert Young's tyranny". I'll bet dimes to dollars that I could get on any subway and pick any random person and they'd be a lot less arrogant than Young. I mean my god, who does he think we are? Some lab rats that he can just pick on whenever he needs to get out the anger from his day? Dude needs to grow up and act like a 48 year old gerontologist instead of acting like an 8 year old who's been spoiled rotten by mommy and daddy. And just to let you know I've gotten some hell on the global supercentenarian forum myself, it's slowly turning into the110club with witchy members being condescending for making the slightest little mistake or talking slightly off topic. I personally find it healthy to go off on tangents, because that's how you discover more knowledge. Just my two cents. Peace

I also note in passing she is immediately above Kenzaburo Oe on the list who just died so that should be nice and easy for the updates!

His mother Dinah has died: https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/21699570/boy-george-mum-dinah-odowd-dead/ An unique DDP pick @gcreptile.

Why are there two motor sport threads?

Dustin Gee. I was 9 at the time and it was pretty big news amongst my school pals. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dustin_Gee

Odd. I always thought Lauda's lungs would have gone first, considering his years of smoking and his near-fatal accident at the Nurburgring in 1976. It was lung damage that nearly killed him - his burns looked bad because they were on his face. But it was the fact he'd inhaled smoke, fumes, extinguisher powder etc. that severely impaired his lungs ability to take up oxygen. It was so bad that he was read the last rites in hospital. Lauda now says it was this that made him survive because he was so angry about being written off.
