    Glancing at Montreal news, metastatic bone and bladder cancer. So, QO unlikely, but largely irrelevant with the prognosis - he wont see Hallowe'en. You were completely right. Don't look so shocked - it has been known to happen now and again! Not shocked, only said you were right on an easy prediction. Predicting Bhumibol's death and being only a few hours wrong was a major shock. I'm sure it won't ever happen again.....

    Bhumibol Adulyadej

    And don't forget to congratulate the winner of our sweepstakes, who was one day off of the correct date. After all you are a nice guy, Joey, while Bhumibol was nasty because he could hang on for some hours more, after exasperating us for years.

    Thoughts On The 2016 List

    Considering I have nothing to do right now, I'll give you some odds according to me. Zsa Zsa Gabor: No way she goes before her 100th birthday. And I doubt she will go after it. Dead by 2016: 15%, Alive 85% Olivia de Havilland: No health issues at all, only old age. Let's say 10% dead, 90% alive Bhumibol: Same as Zsa Zsa. He can be terminally ill, buth they'll keep him alive till he's useful. And that goes beyond 2016. Dead 30%, Alive 70% Billy Graham: Old and Parkinson. Good pick. Dead 60%, Alive 40% Herman Wouk: No health issues, only old. 30%, 70% Javier Perez de Cuellar: Don't know why but I feel him going before the end of 2016. Anyway no health issues, so 35%, 65%. Richard Adams. Good pick. Old and no health issues, but honestly I can not see him at 100. 70%, 30%. Kirk Douglas: Oh, try again next year. 15%, 85% Liz Smith: No serious health issues. 12%, 88% Mary Tyler Moore: Advanced Alzheimer, but still too early. Anyway 50%, 50% Peter Sallis: Definitely frail, which makes him an excellent pick. 80%, 20%. Philip of Edinburgh. Ahah, no way. 10%, 90%. James Randi: Just why was he on the list. 5%, 95% Carrington: Old, but still in good health. 30%, 70% Clive James: leaukemia and emphysema, but it's not his year. 45%, 55% Bob Dole: Frail and old. 50%, 50%. Joost van der Westhuizen: advanced ALS , but he can hang on for another year. 40%, 60% Prunella Scales: Alzheimer's, but again too early. 30%, 70% Jimmy Carter: he defeated cancer and is now in excellent health. No way. 20%, 80% Henry Kissinger: Nothing about him in years. Hard to believe he is dying in 2016. 10%, 90% Tommy Chong: Small cancer and hoaxes. 35%, 65% Doug Ellis: Random old guy. 20%, 80% George Bush Sr.; Frail , but not going anyhere soon. 20%. 80% Vera Lynn: old and in perfect heath, like Olivia. 10%, 90% Leslie Phillips: multiple strokes, very frail and old. 60%, 40% Fidel Castro: just too much to expect. 30%, 70% Sandy Gall: Random not so old guy. 15%, 85% Fats Domino: Old and fat. 45%, 55% Robert M. Pirsig: Random old guy. 30%, 70% Desmond Tutu: out of peril, definitely. 45%, 55% Lester Piggott: 2%, 98% Glen Campbell: we all rely on him and his Alzheimer's. 90%, 10% Stan Lee: Risible pick. 5%, 95% Jake Lamotta: nothing bad about his health. 25%, 75% Denis Norden. Old and ill. 75%, 25% Murray Walker: Only frail. 40%, 60% Jimmy Greaves: Too early. 23%, 77% Gordon Banks: His kidney cancer won't kill him. 30%, 70% Jacques Chirac: Health scares and death of a daughter. 60%, 40% Stephen Hawking: he's a robot and robots don't die. 15%, 85% Gazza: Too early. 5%, 95% John Noakes: Good pick, advanced Alzheimer's. 60%, 40% Bruce Forsyth: Not in good health. 65%, 35% DL will have one/two hits before the end of the year, but it won't be a good result anyway.
