Zoleka Mandela dead at 43.

Graphic designer Burkey Belser dead at 76. He designed what is usually said to be the most reproduced graphic in history: the "Nutrition Facts" label

Since when does the Daily Mail have reliable factcheckers, lol?

I bet Shane can do a brilliant Father Jack impression.

She was probably there in the sense that she was in the bar there knocking back G&T's

Byron Nelson died on this day 17 years ago, aged 94. - Nelson went by his middle name; his first name was John. His mother Madge also lived to be a nonagenarian, dying in 1992 at the age of 98. - Nelson's first experience in golf was when he was 12 years old, when he became a caddy at a local country club. He would win the club's inaugural caddy tournament in 1926 against fellow golf legend Ben Hogan, who also lived in Texas- the two would form a long-term friendly rivalry. - Nelson went professional in 1932, and would achieve several records when playing in PGA tournaments- in 1945, he won 11 of them in a row between March and August. He also held the record of most top 20 finishes, with 113 (this would eventually be broken by Tiger Woods). - Nelson retired from professional golf in 1946 to pursue his dream of becoming a rancher, though he would occasionally still play in professional tournaments (most notably winning Bing Crosby's Pro-Am tournament in 1951). He would later become a TV sportscaster in the 1960s. - Nelson would first appear on the DeathList in 2001, and made three subsequent appearances (consecutively since 2004), being the 2006 list's eighth hit (of 13).

HS2 construction site - earlier today!

I'm going to say it. You cannot stop me. An acting LEGEND!!!!!!!! RIP.

Next up: Rose West investigates the Moors Murders.

Also bursting out into accusation. Poirot takes everybody's evidence and nods politely, allows his grey cells to cogitate and then brings everything together. Once I started laughing at it, I couldn't stop, especially at how everyone was so terrible.

Well there you go.

A sad hit, but a hit nonetheless. David McCallum is the first hit for @TheSpinosaurus with the show Ben 10: Ultimate Alien. It had been 2 months since the last hit in this pool. Somehow the host chose NCIS and didn't pick the aforementioned...alas the world turns.

That is really upsetting. Rare to find someone that is a good actor and person. RIP

The Battle of Stamford Bridge occurred 957 years ago today, during which, among others, King Harald III "Hardrada" of Norway and disgraced earl (and brother of the then-incumbent King Harold II "Godwinson") Tostig Godwinson were killed, aged approximately 51 and 37 respectively. Tostig Godwinson (1029-1066). Harald Hardrada (1015-1066). Another viking soldier, who allegedly single-handedly killed 40 Anglo-Saxon attackers defending his king, was also felled in the battle, although his name and age are unknown.

I mean, you don't need to be alive to be home for Christmas

Gareth Thomas (Blake) reported to have been looking very old at an SF convention the other day and he kept nodding off every few minutes. That is him seated on the far right:
