Well it’s in English... lol http://www.okayplayer.com/music/ndugu-chancler-drummer-michael-jackson-billie-jean-dead-at-65.html note it says Chancler not Chandler. SC

Old rockers over 70 are automatically suspect. Just noticed that Bonnie Bramlett of Delaney & Bonnie is 73. No health issues I can find, but as stated, automatically suspect. SC

I suck at picking Shameless types. But try I must. One of my two, my slam dunk, somehow has raised $ to get treatment in Germany. The 'immunotherapy' is experimental and may not amount to much, but I DO find it interesting that Karen Land has a date set in March, seeing as she was given 3 months to live around Christmas and it's presently early February. Shouldn't she be leaving next week? I"ve been duped....haven't I? SC

A much-celebrated gannet, the only one of its kind living on an island off the coast of New Zealand, has been found dead surrounded by concrete replicas of birds it is believed he thought were his friends and family. Nigel “no mates”, as he was affectionately known, lived his life on the edge of a desolate cliff on the almost-uninhabited Mana Island, with only 80 fake gannets for company. SC

A Pediatrician Shares Life’s Meaning From His Talks With Dying Kids These children have already figured out what’s important. Alastair McAlpine, a palliative pediatrician from Cape Town, South Africa, decided to present a few of these bigger philosophical questions to his patients. He asked what they had enjoyed about life and the people, places and things that suffused their lives with meaning. It turns out the kids, ages 4 to 9, had an abundance of good advice to share. Grab some Kleenex you heartless bastards. SC

A hunter was knocked unconscious after being struck by a dead goose that had been shot and fell from the sky. Robert Meilhammer, 51, suffered a "severe head injury" after his hunting group fired at a flock of Canadian geese in Easton, Maryland. One goose fell about 90ft to the ground and hit Mr Meilhammer, knocking him out and causing head and facial injuries. SC

R. Overton, Rev. Graham, C. Channing

That escalated quickly.

Pat Robertson is the point where ‘20 people I think will die’ and ‘20 people I want to die’ intersect. SC

Emma Primas, a supercentenarian, businesswoman and Houston celebrity who gained national prominence at age 109 during her 2015 meeting with President Barack Obama (when he gave her a peck on the cheek), died Tuesday. She was 112. Again, no DDP interest. Grey Panthers WTF? SC

So far the stats show that your best bet for survival into year 3 are being: -black -male -former porn star How many boxes can Bracknell check?

Former British Columbia premier Dave Barrett has died at the age of 87. A statement from Premier John Horgan’s office says the former NDP premier died after a long struggle with Alzheimer’s disease. He died today in Victoria. No DDP interest I fear SC

Bloody Exchequer!

I hope John Curno is a household name in Britain, but I just discovered him. John Curno, a pensioner from London, was caught masturbating while fisting a cow. For his crimes against zoomanity, the 80-year-old Curno has been found guilty of two counts of outraging public decency and banned from every farm in Britain. SC

Yeah Trotsky thing was interesting. As was marriage to Wednesday Addams, and Nathan’s hotdog factoid. However the most interesting thing is that there was a Brooklyn Jew in the porn industry SC

On a serious note, though the photos aren’t necessary they do put a face to a name. ON THE OTHER HAND....why the hell do I give a damn where the person was born? Not only do I not care but this seems like a LOT of unnecessary work for the Admin to track down. If you want to do away with something allow me to suggest that. So Angus Sinclair was born in Glasgow, so what? SC

Louis Zorich, a busy actor who appeared on Broadway with stars like Laurence Olivier and Dustin Hoffman, on television in the comedy “Mad About You” and in numerous projects with his wife, the Oscar-winning actress Olympia Dukakis, died on Tuesday at his home in Manhattan. He was 93. SC

Quite an interesting obit, I’m extremely surprised to say! ”Under his real name, Butler tied for first in the 1980 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, eating more than nine hot dogs in the allotted time.” Could it be he shoulda done male porn? SC

Another 'foot pointing the wrong way' video, like the Boston Celtics dude earlier this year, now it's a Phoenix Suns player. Grab some popcorn, gather up the family, and watch the first 5 seconds, it's all you get. Freeze it at the appropriate spot. SC

Updating: Mike Adamle announced on “Megyn Kelly Today” that he and his wife are launching a new foundation dedicated to being a support network for suspected chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) victims. As part of a partnership with the non-profit Concussion Legacy Foundation, the Adamles will launch ‘The Mike Adamle Project: Rise Above.” Sounds like he thinks he will be around a bit, but his entire medical background is discussed in the attached video, his dimentia, CTE, diabetes, etc. Doubt he has two years, frankly. SC

Wealthiest Utahan for many years. Hope he got rid of his cash. About to be put to the obit test -- I would think he passes. Hard to tell but I'm guessing it's complications of prostate C, though he had that a few years ago.... ? Isn't he the second 'wealthiest person in the state' to die recently (past few months)? SC Why yes, yes it IS; wealthiest resident of Arizona died Jan 5. Now Utah Feb 2.

1981 called and would like it's jokes back. Jeesh SMH

“It had been reported in May last year that Dennis was 'seriously ill'. Journalist Ken Bedford posted on Facebook at the time: "Prayers are needed for singer Dennis Edwards of the Temptations. He was admitted to a St Louis hospital after returning from a concert date in Canada last week. He is seriously ill and I won't say any more until until his wife releases details.” So this is a big miss for the lot of us? However this DOES give me a new search term “seriously ill”. Hadn’t tried that one yet. SC Edit: NOPE! YoungWillz alerted us May 7 2017. Well done Y-Dub.
