Death Impends

Definitely Bernie

They were cruisin' for a brew-sin'... I think my coat's over there.

Happy 85th!

Pulitzer demise?

I'd been aware of him/his illness, never seriously considered him for my team though due to obit unsureness.

Can stay in her mansion for the rest of her life

I think Leachman and White will both outlast Moore, (and Harper, but that goes without saying) the first two I mentioned still seem remarkably well in spite of their old age whilst Moore has already had quite a few health issues. I'll give Leachman advantage over White just because she's a few years younger.

Surprised that he went this quickly. Seeing how he managed to troop through his previous bout with cancer I'd have thought he'd have stayed around for at least a few more months. There's no doubt Ebert had a genuine love of film. RIP.

All the Muppet-related sources I follow are reporting it. Unsurprising but very much a shame to hear, she was the first collaborator of Jim Henson before he became well known and did much work to preserve his legacy.

Dead. One team - RKAA34 - was brave enough to pick him, and though I doubt he'll get the obit, that still means the team in question's had three deaths in two days. (he also has Pardee and Jesus Franco)

This also means that our pal Grace Jones is now amongst the 10 oldest living.

Myself included. The waiting game begins...

Ditto here.

The harvester of Cooke's bones is now near death via (wait for it) bone cancer.

It turns out the whole "one lung" thing was an exaggeration - only the upper part of his right lung was removed, rather than the entire lung.

The designer of the Doomsday Clock has reached midnight.

Elsie Thompson Oldest American and a pick for two DDP teams.

I definitely agree. I don't really have anything against Zsa Zsa herself, but she's one of the few people I don't hate but wouldn't mind dying because a life like her's really can't be enjoyable. Even worse is those with Alzheimer's. If I ever get Alzheimer's I'd kill myself before it gets to the point where I can't remember what everyday objects are. Even Zsa Zsa at least still has her mind.

Won't be deteriorating any further...

85

Walters is to retire in May 2014.

Who knew that we have something called an Ampulla of Vater inside our guts? It sounds like something out of a fantasy quest tale. "Farewell, I go to seek the Ampulla of Vater" Guess nothing is surprising when part of our brain stem's called the medulla oblongata.

What a shame, he was great in Rocky & Bullwinkle
