  1. New York Times bestselling true crime writer Ann Rule, 84, has been ripped off by her sons. She's in declining health since 2013, can't perform tasks of daily life without assistance, is on oxygen at all times, and has periods of extreme confusion:

    Zsa Zsa Gabor's been like that since dinosaurs roamed the fucking Earth, but she's still with us!

    He should be on one of those "What were these parents thinking!?!" lists of people with weird names. Dick Balharry.

    American Roman Catholic cardinal, Francis Eugene George, passed away yesterday at the age of 78.
    As a former Chicagoan, this is big news.

    Thanks for being my 3rd hit, Georgy!

    Big hit for me, #6 in one league!!

    Not to mention how relieved all Deathlisters will be that I can finally stop complaining about not getting my 3rd hit yet.

    That is, until the middle of May, when I start complaining about not getting my 4th hit yet.

  4. Not on this list but someone people should consider is 93 yo Betty White. Her show Hot In Cleveland just ended production and looking at her imdb she has no upcoming projects. Just speculation but one of the things that probably has kept her in great mental and physical health for her age is her workaholic dedication. If work offers are truly fading out for her I could see her take a sudden downturn real quick as she doesn't seem the type who will settle into retired life and enjoy gardering and playing canasta all day.

    I wouldn't bother with Betty.

    As I wrote in my About Me page, Betty White and Jimmy Carter will live to be 100.

    UKIP guy on Daily Politics today, when asked what his party will do for women, announced the policy of removing the tax on tampons. That would make for an interesting Queen's Speech, the devil in me would love to see that.

     

    I doubt that the Queen still uses tampons

    Who knows?

    After all, she is a lizard creature.

    Please, just go away...

    Sorry I didn't see the first one posting so I posted again sorry if it annoys you
    I'm getting to the point of just giving up on you!.

    You need to show some modicum of punctuation. Capital letters for names of people. Use a coma when needed. Be interesting and post with a level of incite-fulness. End with a full stop.

    If you can't do any of that, rearrange, and personally do, this well known phrase or saying:

    off, right, fuck!

    Use a coma - I second that.

    I agree heartily. Comas are always welcome in dead pooling.

    OK I'll try to be better with my grammer especially commas.

    Grammer? No. Kelsey Grammer is only 60 years old and has no health problems. he's not a good candidate for any Deathlists or deadpools.

    Ugh, I totally forgot he isn't on my list. :(

    That sucks, he's totally gonna die soon...

     

    No he won't. he'll live to 100 at least.Only the good die young

    Oh, shit! That means George Bush and Dick Cheney will be around for a couple more centuries...

    Fun Fact: While Gertrude Weaver only held the title for 5 days, Emma Tillman only held it for 4 (in January 2007, I believe).

     

    There have been cases - one fairly recently but I can't recall exactly when - of the world's oldest title being surrendered by someone who remained alive; because another claiment was proven to be genuinely older. That's less and less likely to happen with better record keeping from the end of the 19th century.

     

    That would be Maria Gomes Valentim (9 July 1896 - 21 June 2011), who was discovered to be the world's oldest person after the title was given to Eunice Sanborn (20 July 1896 - 31 January 2011) and later to Besse Cooper (26 August 1896 - 4 December 2012), who later had the title anyway.


  9. Anyways, Gertrude Weaver's death was really unexpected to me.

     

    I mean, Misao Okawa looked like she couldn't move a face muscle and that she needs a drool bucket (that needs to be refilled twice an hour), but she made it to 117.

     

    Gerty, however, looked a lot better, so I was thinking she might make at least 118.

     

    I guess at such an old age, you never know.

  10. I read the news about his hospitalization while in the tram (Not in a newspaper, here in Kraków, the more modern trams have these little TVs that show news headlines and a bunch of ads)

     

    Since I didn't know all the details, I thought it was serious and started getting all excited about how I'll finally get my 3rd hit.

     

    But I like B. B. King's music, so if I had to choose, I'd definitely rather have someone else die from my list.
