Seppuku

Visits Beijing. I could not find a photograph of the meeting. A farewell tour with all the greatest hits apparently. Next stop Hanoi?

Picture of health and a nice tan!

He appears to have a bit of a shuffling gait.

I would be surprised if Clinton made 98, and Biden also seems to be getting a little frail. I can see Dubya making it though.

Watson is a must for next year. Big name in science, plus the casual racist title is vacant..

Dutch princess Beatrix (former queen) also in that picture, first row on the right along with the king & queen.

A serious stroke is plausible, especially since she was kind of ok a few days ago. And in that scenario it is not impossible she will live on for some time, although she will probably be incapacitated since the situation is clearly grave. My grandfather lived on for almost two years after a debilitating stroke, although I wouldn't wish the way he was in on my worst enemy..

To be honest I always thought that was a bit unfair to Heesters.. The question he was asked (in Dutch, a language he no longer spoke well after so many years in Germany) was about what Hitler was like personally. He wasn't asked about his views on the nazi era, but about what Heesters thought of him when he met Hitler back then.. It really feels like a setup when you watch the clip. What a trainwreck of an interview with Ecclestone. Holy shit

Interesting. I never knew Anne Buydens wasn't his mother. Sorry

Michael Douglas was 75 when Kirk died.

Who would have thought two years ago.. Current global death toll sits around 6,2 million. So they were off by only 90%! Which for National Enquirer standards, is pretty damn impressive.

Either that or a bad guy from Thunderbirds

Trying to lend us a hand by giving him covid?

Mumbled his way through Dirty Old Town the other day. Apparently the first time he has left his home since last year's knee injury.
