    Apparently recovering from vestibular disease and looks very frail http://kabochan.blog.jp/archives/41643202.html Probably one of the only remaining late 2000s meme animals. Maru is another, don't remember/know if there's others

    Foreign Personalities, From Stage, Screen, Politics And Life

    Chief of Defence of the Finnish Defence forces from 1990 to 1994, Jan Klenberg (b. 1931) died at the end of last month aged 88. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Klenberg He wasn't as known as his predecessor Jaakko Valtanen (1925-) or his successor Gustav Hägglund (1937-)

    I'll replace the fifth and third one with Norwegian princess Märtha Louise becoming the Queen of the United Kingdom. She's currently the 84th in the line of succession to the British throne which may not seem a lot but she believes that she can communicate with angels and the dead so I mean, it's still a risk

    Political Frailty

    This means that the only living senior member of Khmer Rouge is Khieu Samphan, aged 89. It's been just two years since Nuon Chea and Samphan were found guilty of genocide.

    Curse Of The Eurovision

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pave_Maijanen Pekka "Pave" Maijanen, a known Finnish singer, songwriter, bass player, keyboard player, drummer, guitarist and producer has revealed he suffers from ALS. His 70th birthday is going to be in three days, I wonder how long he's got He was the last in the 1992 competition with this:
  9. Philip looked 99 years old 20 years ago and around 25 years ago said that "bits and pieces are already falling off me" so I'm suprised how he's still alive. Wouldn't be suprised if he outlives the queen but I'm betting he'll not make it to 100.

    The Big Book of DeathList's Great mistakes

    What I'm afraid of is that Pervez Musharraf or Abdelaziz Bouteflika will be dropped from the list in 2021 because they aren't in the news a lot nowadays. Especially Bouteflika won't probably last a long time because of his health problems even though I've already seen some Algerian instagram accounts make memes about him being immortal.

    Internet Celebrities

    Kabosu, dog known for the very popular "doge" picture and meme looks frail, is blind and probably has health issues judging on these pictures from her owner's blog http://kabochan.blog.jp/archives/41544260.html The blog is in Japanese though

    Arghton's deadpool

    I think Arnold Spielberg was my first hit. Hard to keep track of my own list and the lists of other people, so I'll just mention here if I see some people on a list or multiple lists die.

    World War II Veterans

    Was reading the posts from the first page. They're from 2011. Interesting that both George Johnson and Fred Sutherland are still alive, now 98 and 97. Edit: Apparently Sutherland died last year. Didn't check the wikipedia page but google mentioned that he'd still be alive. Darn

    Replaced number 200 with Indonesian ISIS cleric Abu Bakar Ba'asyir, 82, because apparently Bajro Ikanovic died according to Bosnian media in 2016. I didn't notice this while picking the candidates.

    The 100 Club

    Here's an interesting centenarian, but there isn't a lot about him in the english wikipedia. https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paavo_V._Suominen Founded "Huurre" in 1946. It became the largest producer of cold storages in the 80s. Suominen "retired" in 1986 and soon after, because of an economic depression the company was sold to an English bank. He's a millionaire freemason known for sometimes giving donations to schools. Suominen is known in Finland but probably only few know his name outside of the country. A few months ago celebrated his 100th birthday. He has once told a newspaper that he wouldn't be alive without a pacemaker he got at age 85 in America. https://twitter.com/IlmariSjoblom/status/1227683656174645248 Here's a new picture of him. I wonder how long he'll live, his wife is in a nursing home but apparently he still lives in his home. He's a living relic.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_al-Fayadh This is the other one.

    I don't care that much about what he is, for me his only purpose is to die within the next year and three months. I need to know nothing more about him.

    I got pretty tired after writing that list for over two hours. Could've instead have called him a far-right drug addict.

    Ideas and Possibilities for 2021

    Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, if he's still alive. Often called Saddam's right hand man and by some, the "creator and funder of ISIS", he's the leader of the Iraqi Ba'ath party. If he resurfaces to prove he's alive again, I don't think he'll live long. He's 78 and probably has a lot of enemies.

    Political Frailty

    Apparently former Finnish prime minister and counselor of state Paavo Lipponen (born 1941, served as PM from 1995 to 2003) has had heart problems for multiple years, had a heart attack in 2017 and had to be operated 7 times and according to his wife, is now in such a frail condition that she can't visit him. I'm almost sure Lipponen won't see his 80th birthday.
