47. He claimed that he was possibly abducted by aliens in November of 1989. (Yes, this is a real fact.)

Here's a documentary about Richard Arvin Overton (the oldest living man in the United States).

Toots Thielemans, the guy behind the harmonica in the Sesame Street theme, died a year ago today at the age of 94.

15. He was the basis on Mario from the Super Mario games.

Happy 78th birthday, Valerie Harper! A few hours early, though...

This is a few hours early, but... Happy 92nd birthday, Honor Blackman!

Leon Trotsky assassinated 77 years ago, aged 60.

I think Jerry Maren (the last surviving Munchkin from The Wizard of Oz) would be a good pick for next year. He turns 98 next year, not to mention there was a death hoax about him back in February 2016.

Two words: Jerry. Lewis.

Your stupidity amazes me.

I hope Dean is happy to be reunited with him. Speaking of which, tomorrow, when the moon hits your eye...

This time, I'm going with Bracknell.

Popes John XIV (1033 years ago), Pius VII (194 years ago) and Pius X (103 years ago) died on this day. Age at death: John: Unknown Pius VII: 81 years old Pius X: 79 years old

No, I first discovered the website in January, then decided to join the forums today.
