    Film Producers

    Since no one else seems to be up yet, I guess I get the honor of posting this. Raymond Chow, Hong Kong film producer who brought the world Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, dead at 91. I saw this on the BBC and thought you should see it: Raymond Chow: Hong Kong film mogul who discovered Bruce Lee dies at 91 - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-46080166

    Possibly a fall, which could result in the need for surgery but this would be an emergency type of surgery, and his seemed to be planned in advance. NPH does cause unsteadiness and falls though for sure.

    Just spitballin' here, because the information is very vague and sparse, but perhaps the dr.s were suspecting NPH, normal pressure hydrocephalus. It's a condition that mimics dementia, but can be fixed by draining cerebrospinal fluid. Usually they will test the theory by drawing off some fluid with a spinal tap, and if the symptoms get better, they go to the next step of putting a shunt in the brain to continuously drain it off. It's a reasonable thing to try especially if there is rapid onset of dementia with a progression that is much quicker than normal, but in the few instances I have seen it done it hasn't really helped because the person did indeed have dementia.

    The plot thickens. What's cancer got to do with it? https://www.bet.com/music/2018/10/31/tina-turner-stomach-cancer.html

    It would be really spooky if he was unresponsive and could verbalize.

    I was kinda wondering the same thing, but it seemed plausible. I didn't see any jiggling body parts when I clicked on it, so I figured it was probably ok.

    Ideas and Possibilities for 2019

    Is he sick? I couldn't find anything in a quick search to suggest it, but it's easy to miss sometimes. According to the tables, as a 92 year old he has a 20% statistical chance of dying in one year, 75% in 5 years.

    If bladan doesn't exist, how can he have lips?

    Ok. We can test that. Go jump off a bridge. Get back to us with the result.

    Gravity was just the catalyst. It was Newton's 3rd law that did him in.

    Inverse Survivor Dead Pool I

    That last bit, yeah. My list starts out OK for the first 2, but then it all goes to hell on the masterlist compared to the one I submitted. Not sure what happened. If it can be changed back to my original submission, great. If not, meh.

    I love Google Translate. According to Phan Trong Kinh, the current health of former General Secretary Do Muoi was much better when he was just a few months old.

    Sorry. I was just kidding. I was a big fan and found the conversation humorous.
