Here's a nudge! Women’s wrestling great Beverly Shade dies | Slam Wrestling

she still had a position of trust over him in my opinion.

Syles made quite a few noises of contentment, I think! So he kinda said something.

Stephen A. Douglas died on this day 162 years ago, aged 48. - Douglas was born in Vermont, and would move to Illinois in 1833, where he would establish a law firm. - Douglas would be elected to the Illinois House of Representatives in 1836, and would attempt to run for Congress in 1838- he lost to the Whig candidate, John Stuart, by a mere 36 votes. - Douglas became friends with Mormon prophet Joseph Smith, expressing sympathy for them. He arranged the state charter for the city of Nauvoo, the headquarters of the religion until they went west to Utah. Smith encouraged Douglas to run for president. - Douglas would be elected to the US House of Representatives in 1842 following the creation of Illinois' 5th congressional district in 1840. He served two terms before being elected to the Senate in 1846 by the state legislature (he had won reelection in the House). - Douglas passed the Compromise of 1850, which added California to the Union and banned the slave trade in Washington DC, but also included the Fugitive Slave Act (which led to the kidnapping and enslavement of free Blacks). - Douglas would also propose the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854, leading to much violence in the region. - Douglas ran for president in 1856. He came in second place at the Democratic National Convention, losing to former Secretary of State James Buchanan (who ultimately won the presidency). - Douglas defeated Abraham Lincoln and won re-election to the Senate in 1858. Lincoln won the popular vote by 34,000- but Douglas was elected by the state legislature (the Seventeenth Amendment ended state legislatures from electing candidates in 1913). - Douglas ran for president again in 1860- the Democratic Party had fractured based on location, and he was chosen by the northerners (with Georgia governor Herschel Johnson as his running mate); the southerners picked vice president John C. Breckinridge. Douglas won the state of Missouri and three of New Jersey's seven electoral votes. - After the Civil War began, Douglas put his differences with Lincoln aside and ordered more troops to fight the Confederates (Lincoln suggested 75,000; Douglas 200,000). - Douglas died from typhoid fever, but was unwell in the last two years of his life- he was known to suffer from gout.

You always chime in when there's a discussion about age-gap relationships or grooming. The biggest thing is context. Age gaps are common in my bloodline but we seem to start families when we're ancient. A better example would be 2 of my former managers (40M and 22F), who started dating and are still together. They both earned the same salary and had nothing to gain from being with the other person. The bigger problem was that he cheated on his weans' mother. They're perfect for each other and that's not a compliment. A situation involving a millionaire celebrity and a young person with few connections is not comparable. If you're starting out in the industry and Phillip Schofield could potentially influence your whole career, he could get away with a lot of fuckshit in the name of helping you out. It appears he did, and it was never a level playing field. Is it not easier to simply pursue someone who you haven't known from a very young age? Same goes for second cousins. It's not illegal but... so many other people to choose from, no? I think this story is a big overblown distraction though. It's not that serious to people outwith the ITV circle.

American professional baseball first baseman who played 17 seasons in Major League Baseball for the New York Yankees Lou Gehrig died on this day 82 years ago, aged 37. Gehrig signed with the Yankees on April 29, 1923. He set several major-league records during his career, including the most career grand slams (23; since broken by Alex Rodriguez) and most consecutive games played (2,130), a record that stood for 56 years and was long considered unbreakable until it was surpassed by Cal Ripken Jr. in 1995. On June 19, 1939, Gehrig was diagnosed with ALS. Spanish virtuoso classical guitarist Andrés Segovia died on this day 36 years ago, aged 94. Many professional classical guitarists were either students of Segovia or students of Segovia's students. Segovia's contribution to the modern-romantic repertoire included not only commissions but also his own transcriptions of classical or baroque works. He is remembered for his expressive performances: his wide pallet of tone, and his distinctive musical personality, phrasing and style.

I would rather go hunting with Dick Cheney.

WORDS FROM THE COMMISSIONER: Around 8am this morning I received a message from DDT confirming his replacement captain, following the death of Brother Camillius, was your favourite and mine, former vicar general for the Archdiocese of Anchorage-Juneau Father Pat Travers. However, it has since been discovered that Travers' death was made public in a Facebook post around 9pm last night. While at no point has the management of the DL Cup suggested any impropriety on DDT's part, it was decided that in the interests of CFP (cadaver fair play), that he select a different captain for the round. We now await any QO for Travers.

Updated. Thanks.

If I found myself in a crisis where Lily The Pink was the fucking answer I think I’d opt for the sweet release of death.

My gosh Zak, we get it. Honestly I was interested in your Calment study, but there was hardly any documents translated in English. And The ones that were, are too difficult to understand. Not to mention you talk to your audience like they're scholars who have phds in the subject. I'm just an ordinary guy who's interested in the Calment case. I know language translation can be difficult, but you might get a wider audience if you just translated more of your stuff to English and made it easier to comprehend. And by the way I thought you lost a lot of credibility in your new paper when you said that Kimura could've only been 111. He was without any doubts, 116. Stop coming up with bizarre theories that don't make any sense. Kimura was 116, final word.

Time for a poll?

My opinion on Deceased Supercentenarians: - Li Ching Yuen, 256, Fake. No explanation needed. Unless Li Ching Yuen was a Greenlandic Shark... he did not live for 256 years. - James Olofintuyi, 174, Fake. Claimed to have a 29 year old son at the time of his death. - Dhaqabo Ebba, 163, Fake. Claimed to have a living 128 year old son at the time of his death. - Niels Paulsen, 160, Fake. Claimed to have a 9 year old son at the time of his death. I found the same exact story of a 160 year old man claiming to have a 9 year old son in a satire-themed comic book. Idea was obviously stolen, and tried to pass off as real. - Mbah Gotho, 146, Fake. This man was not 146. His birthday was Claimed to be 31 December 1870, which is a placeholder birthday. He likely didn't know when he was born, so a random date was chosen for him. I'm willing to bet he was probably born in the early 1900s decade, and was probably 108-114 when he died. Not 146. However, I will add that I think it is possible that Mbah Gotho was older than Israel Kristal at the time of his death in April 2017, and may have been the World's Oldest Living Man at the time of his death. BUT, if he was older than Kristal, it was likely less than a year older. Should be investigated further. - John Smith, 137, nearly 100% fake. A study was done on Chief John Smith which concluded he was probably 96-99 when he died. He claimed to be 7, 8, 9, or 10 "when the stars fell". This is most likely referring to the Leonid Meteor Shower of 1833. This would place his birth year between 1823 and 1826 instead of his claimed birth year of 1784. Meaning that when he died in 1922, he was either 96, 97, 98, or 99. However there is an odd twist to this story, which is why I did not list him as totally fake. Some researchers did a study after Smith died, and they discovered that there was another meteor shower that occurred in 1792. This would accurately place Smith's birth year in 1784, thus making him 137 when he died. The strange thing was, is that it seems he had inside knowledge of the 1792 meteor shower, prior to the researchers who did the study. My guess is that he had likely heard of the 1792 meteor shower from his father, and mixed it up with his own memory. Or, it was just a big coincidence. If Smith really made it to 137, that means that at the time of his death, he would have broken Boomgaard's record by 27 years. A statistical near impossibility. I consulted a gerontologist, and according to the mathematical formula, the odds of Smith achieving the age of 137, would have a lower bound of 1 in 134 trillion. I wouldn't exactly call him a hoax yet, as rarer things have occurred, but unfortunately it's pretty safe to say he did not reach 137. - Koku Istambulova, 129, She honestly does have some decent documentation but it's not enough to prove her age. I'm going to say fake, because she was a very unhappy person in life. Optimists live longer. I highly doubt a negative person would have made it to 129. - Maria Do Cormo Geronimo, 129, Honestly Mrs. Geronimo does seriously surprise me. She doesn't have any birth records, but she does have vivid memories of being a Brazilian slave. Since she has memories of slavery in Brazil, she had to have been at least 3 years old, making her at least 115 when she died. She even had whip marks on her back from being a slave. She may not have been 129 when she died, but I'm going to guess she was between 115 and 122 with 120 being the most likely age. - Johanna Mazibuko, 128, ??? - Luo Meizhen, 127, researchers found that Mrs. Meizhen was more like 115 when she died. Not 127. I'm going to go with the researchers on this one. She indeed did have signs of extreme old age, commonly found in Supercentenarians. - Benito Martinez Abrogan, 126, This case was very unusual. Mr. Abrogan immigrated from Haiti to Cuba in the 1920s but his age wasn't given. He had a very healthy and fit lifestyle and ate lots of fresh rice and vegetables. Mr. Abrogan also ate lots of cassava, which has been proven to slow down the shortening of telomeres, and lower blood pressure. He never owned a car, but walked everywhere he went; another factor into supporting his longevity. He was nicknamed the Aeroplane for the speed at which he worked, while helping construct the highway across Cuba. This is a good sign, as he would've had to have been extremely healthy to outspeed all the other workers, as his boss and co-workers claimed. He doesn't have any documentation, nor does he show any signs of extreme aging, but the Cuban government and Cuban medical experts say that he was at least 119 years old at the time of his death. They claimed to have run tests on him, and said he was indeed between 119 and 126 when he died, however there is no proof of this. Again, his claimed birthdate is June, 19, 1880, which is a placeholder birthdate. He likely didn't know his actual birthdate, so he guessed. However, because of his extremely healthy lifestyle, I'm willing to guess he was born in the late 1880s, and was thus between 116 and 120 when he died. He died between many of the longest lived men on the planet, McMorran, Chuganji, Moll, and Del Toro. I think it's entirely possible that this man was indeed born in 1887 (not his claimed birthdate of 1880), and was actually 119 when he died. Extremely unlikely, but possible. - Jackson Pollock, 126, I personally found evidence that if Mr. Pollock was born the year he claimed to have been born, his father would have been only 5 years old at the time of his son's birth. His age was probably exaggerated by 20 years, and he was more likely 106, and not 126. One thing is for sure though, he was not born in the year he claimed to be born. - Francisca Susano, 124, I have spent a decent amount of time researching Mrs. Susano's case and I have never found any hard evidence against her. However, that doesn't mean there isn't any. Her eldest child would've been over 100 at the time of her death, strengthening her case a bit. But first we have to prove her child's age wasn't exaggerated. I think she is definitely worth considering. - Juana Chox Yac, 123, Doubtful - Hava Rexa, 123, Doubtful - Belle Rhymes, 123, She also claims to have suffered a constant asthma attack for 99 years straight. Willing to bet the whole story is made up. I sincerely doubt that a human could survive a constant asthma attack that lasted nearly a century, and I doubt this woman lived to be 123. - Sudhakar Chaturvedi, 122, I really don't know what to think of Mr. Chaturvedi's case. He has lots of documentation dating back to the early 1900s, but that doesn't mean he was born when he said he was. - Zhang Daoling, 122, This man claimed to have lived 122 years, and died in the year 156 A.D. I highly doubt he lived this long, back in times where the average lifespan was 35-50 years of age. I'm going to go with fake. He was probably a mythical figure. - Magomed Labazanov, 122, Doubtful. This man claimed to have still been able to walk at 121??? Very unlikely. He does appear to be very old from the videos shown on YouTube. Probably more like 112 when he died and not 122. He honestly does have the appearance of someone who is over 100, but saying that he is 122 is a massive stretch. - Celino Villanueva, 121, Fake. Mr. Villanueva does not show any signs of extreme old age associated with Supercentenarians. If I had to guess his age, I would have said he was about 95 or 96, not 121. His age was probably either exaggerated by 20 years, making him 101 when he died, and not 121, or his identity was mixed up with his father's, making him less than 105. - Jesus Castillo Rangel, 121, Seriously? 121??? This guy looks more like 81 rather than 121. I doubt he was even in his 90s. - Shigechiyo Izumi, 120, We could talk about Izumi's case all day... I am going to go with possibly on this one. Now if you're not familiar with the Izumi case, Shigechiyo Izumi claimed to have been born in 1865 and died at the age of 120 in 1986 (before celebrating his 121st birthday). Now researchers found another Shigechiyo Izumi born in 1880, but with no death certificate. It's possible that our 1865 Izumi got mixed up with our 1880 Izumi and our 1865 Izumi was only 105 when he died. However our 1865 born Izumi claimed to have been given up for adoption in 1871, aged 6, and started work at a sugar mill in 1872, aged 7. This right here would prove that he was not mixed up with our 1880 Izumi, and thus was the age claimed. BUT, there are several problems with this case. One, is that our 1865 born Izumi could be lying. And two, is that there is no documentation or definite proof that he was adopted in 1871 or started work in 1872. I think that a professional researcher, should try and locate some documentation of a Shigechiyo Izumi being adopted in 1871, or work papers of a Shigechiyo Izumi from 1872. Unfortunately, most documentation like this was not common in the 1870s. We may never know the real truth about Izumi. I will add, that the pictures of Izumi aged 120 in 1986, do indeed look like a 120 year old man. He shows all the characteristic signs of extreme aging, commonly found in a Supercentenarian. The whites of his eyes even have signs of extreme old age, and appear darkened in color. Something I've never seen in a person under 110. - Du Pinhua, 120, I have not researched her case enough but it seems like Mrs. Pinhua was indeed 120 when she died. She has all the signs of extreme aging, and elderly people of her village say she was a middle aged woman when they were kids. An 80 year old man who had known her all his life, said he remembers her being aged 40, when he was born. 80 + 40 = 120, thus supporting Pinhua's age. Unfortunately her case seemed to run into a lot of dead ends, and I can't find much more evidence than that of her being 120. I'd still say she has the strongest case of everyone on this list though. - Rebecca Lanier, 120, looks more like 80. Fake. This woman shows no signs of extreme aging. - Ignacio Aguilar Jaramillo, 119, I would have to go with... fake. Apparently he could still dance at age 115? A very unusual feat for a Supercentenarian. I don't believe he was 119. - Kamu Tongnumchokdee, 119, Dude looks like he's barely 89. Apparently he could still walk, and carry out farm work at the age of 119. The oldest that I would believe he was, is probably 105, but no more than that. His age was probably either exaggerated by 20 or 30 years, and he was probably either 89 or 99 when he died. Not 119. - Oh Yoon-ah, 118, Doubtful. This woman claims to have still gotten on the exercise Bike for 20 minutes a day at age 115. Not completely impossible as Maurice Floquet achieved this at 111, and as female SCs are in better shape than male SCs, it's not entirely impossible, but very unlikely. I'd compare this to being struck by lightning 3 times, and meeting someone who was struck by lightning 4 times. Not completely impossible, but hard to believe and verify. - Goddard Diamond, 118, Now this case is a weird one. Mr. Goddard Diamond claimed to have been born in 1796 and died in 1914. Mr. Diamond was featured in an interview in 1896 where he claimed to be 100 years old. He appears in good shape, and he claimed to have had a routine where he applied olive oil to his body every day. There is also pictures of Mr. Diamond from 1861 at the claimed age of 65, where he indeed looks like a 65 year old man. There is early life documentation of Mr. Diamond supporting a 1796 birthdate, and thus making him 118 when he died. But, there is also documentation supporting a 1805 birthdate, and making him only 109 when he died. I honestly don't know what to think of this case. I think this would take a professional researcher to figure out, and find more documentation of either him being born in 1796 and being the oldest man ever, or being born in 1805 and not even being a Supercentenarian. One piece of evidence that strengthens his case, is the 1861 documentation and picture of him being 65. If the 1805 birthdate us accurate, I highly doubt a 56 year old man would look this old. But again, if he was 118 when he died, the probability of a man surpassing Boomgaard by 8 years of close to nothing. It is worth noting however that Calment passed the female record by 9. - Jintaro Tanaka, 118, Possible but unlikely. Researchers at the Calment Project actually verified this man to have died in 1997 on his 118th birthday. He had all the nesscessary documentation, and the statistics fit perfectly in line with his life being around the same time as Calment, Knauss, and Mortensen. He would even close the gap of the oldest living man, before Mortensen. However, there was one little problem. The same researchers at the Calment Project later found that another Jintaro Tanaka had died in the 1960s, and the birthplace and wife's name matched exactly. It IS possible that there was another Jintaro Tanaka also born in 1879, who had the same wife's name, but what are the chances? I'm going to go with Doubtful, but I wouldn't call him fake just yet. - Teriihaeretei Taaroa, 117, I found documentation from an ancestry website sourcing that Mr. Taaroa was actually 104 when he died, and not 117. Now unless this incredibly accurate ancestry website is wrong... - Andrew Hatch, 117, Fake. Mr. Hatch claimed to have lived between 1898 and 2015, BUT he does not appear in a census until 1930, as a baby. This means he was probably only 85 at the time of his death. The only way he could have actually been 117, is if somehow he avoided all census recordings, all forms of documentation, and lied about his age stating that he was under a year old, when he in fact was 32. Extremely unlikely, considering the time period he lived in. - Juan Pablo Villalobos Maradiaga, 116, I did a heavy amount of research on his case, and found absolutely nothing to disprove Mr. Maradiaga's age. Although, I will say I didn't find much evidence to begin with. He did indeed have a son who would've been 95 at the time of his death, meaning that he couldn't have been much younger than the age claimed. Some researchers found a Juan Pablo Villalobos Maradiaga born 5 years after our 116 year old Juan Pablo. Unfortunately though, the birthplace is wrong. That leaves us with 2 possibilities. Most likely situation, is that Juan Pablo was only 111 when he died, and the census made a mistake on his birthplace. Even so, he would have still been the 1st Supercentenarian of El Salvador, and oldest man recorded of El Salvador, until Santos Rivas narrowly outlived him in 2023. The second situation, is that the census is of a different Juan Pablo Villalobos Maradiaga meaning that his age is still unknown, and he may have indeed been older than Kimura when he died. I'm going to go with 111, but I won't exactly rule out 116 yet. - Bernando Lapollo, 114, FAKE! This guy doesn't stop changing his story. Researchers did a study and found out he was more likely in his 100s when he died. Not 114. Anyway let me know what you think...

Well, at the risk of splitting hairs it actually says he died of hypothermia. But assuming there's even a shred of truth in a news story that uses the line "Most likely....." before the writer just makes something up, nice effort from the owl. I was merely quoting the headline. I agree, the particular link looked somewhat dodgy (can't think what "harrypotter" has got to do with it, unless that's the owl's name). However, some seemingly more trustworthy links have now appeared, such as this one
