So here we are: John B. Goodenough, German-born American 2019 chemistry laureate, has died aged 100. This makes 3.813 points for @theoldlady - congrats.

Nominal GOP front runner presidential candidate, economic idiot and former CEO of Goodfellas Pizza Herman Cain would have probably got his own DL thread anyway merely out of the fact that he's a possible assassination risk if he ever does become US president. However, what's of more use to us is the fact that in 2006 he was diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer that had metastased to his liver. Although it's now in remission, I can't imagine the stress of running for president will do him that good, and even the most optimistic of his doctors say that he has a "50% chance of being alive five years from now". So have at it.

Oh wait..... I know the player you people are on about, that was a month old news, though I WAS keeping it under me chapeau. Oh well, it had to be revealed at some point.

I had meat loaf and mashed taters for dinner just last night along with some fresh spinach.
