*cough* Pope Benedict XVI, *cough, cough* Barbara Walters...

Yes, maybe she can move to Australia in December, work out at the gym with Catherina van der Linden until she gets super jacked and then come back to Spain when the temperature is better. Maybe Fusa moves to Antarctica too

If Maria aged 116 becomes an immigrant (Australia or Brazil) things will change and she will not enter a high danger zone (winter).

Robert Mugabe died on this day 4 years ago, aged 95. - Before entering politics, Mugabe was a teacher. Mugabe would turn against the colonialist Rhodesian regime largely due to learning about the actions of Gandhi. - Mugabe became a public speaker following the arrest of his friend Leopold Takawira, and became the spokesman of the National Democratic Party- banned by the Rhodesian government in 1961, he soon created the Zimbabwe African People's Union. After getting in legal trouble due to criticizing the government, he fled to Tanganyika (soon to become Tanzania), and would be arrested upon his return home in 1963. Mugabe would be incarcerated for almost two years. - Eventually Mugabe became the leader of a guerrilla war against the Ian Smith government, seeking support from both Western and communist nations. Zimbabwe gained its independence in 1980. - Upon the country's independence, Mugabe became its inaugural prime minister- and would become president in 1987. During his 30-year "presidency", Zimbabwe would experience hyperinflation (100 trillion dollar notes were eventually made), he defended the military after it arrested and tortured foreign journalists in 1999, and supported the seizure of land from White farmers (as revenge for colonization). - Mugabe would be ousted in a coup, though was allowed to stay in Zimbabwe. He would soon end up getting cancer and went to Singapore to receive treatment, remaining there until his death. Among his last photos shows him clad in Adidas clothing:

He is just trolling us at this point and Johnny Irwin too.

I assume you live south of the equator then. Remember that for people like Inah Canabarro Lucas and Catherina van der Linden summer and winter are reversed so they are more likely to die in June-August (although I don’t think Brazil gets that cold). Closer to the equator there won’t be much fluctuation (Juan and Efrain live quite close)

A list of all U.S. Senators who have parents, siblings, or close cousins who were famous before them is surprisingly short, especially nowadays. Here's a list of the "nepo babies" in Congress today: Now Map for those who cba to read names: This one's just funny though - Sherrod Brown's brother joined politics after him - and is literally called Charlie Brown.

4 months can be a long time in late stage cancer.

Well, there's always hope. There are 6 days of 2023 after Christmas...

James Whale has stopped the aggressive medication as it has become a life expectancy vs. life quality decision: https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/james-whale-cancer-talkradio-host-113950292.html He says this christmas may be his last - which, of course, means that he should comfortably see the end of this year. I doubt there's a christmas 2024 in his future, but yes, sounds as if he survives this year.

Joe Fagin no longer livin' alright.

Will be the biggest miss this year if he goes before New Year’s Day IMO

Reminds me of this "poem":

Only 29 days until his 99th birthday, you guys think he'll make it?

Bullshit

He looks fine darn it!

That's not how it works here. If you report a death give us something. Which you now have. Whatever that is.

It was just a joke...

Great timing!

so how the f**k can the statement "However Hokey Pokey is the correct pronunciation" be true? Prior art and all that. It's Hokey Cokey for f**ks sake. Bloody yanks. Hocus Cokus?
