    John Cleese

    I saw John Cleese on tour last night. He spent the evening showing film clips, telling Monty Python stories, and discussing his old age. He says that he had a pacemaker implanted six weeks ago. During the Q&A, an audience member asked him how long he had left to live. Cleese responded "I've probably got another seven or eight years. I'm not terribly scared to die, I just don't want to die yet."
