Dr Strangelove

According to IMDB He was born on 1 June 1930 and the mother of his children is Venetia Barrett (No mention of if they're married). This applies to many tv shows.

For the 87th time I have to ask is this Salinger fellow really worth a plug nickel of our time? I mean if you had mentioned bringing the REAL Salinger (Pierre) into this Jungle I might well have gone for it but this discussion seems to be somewhat of a somehting for the Birds, but yet I do not give up Hope that you'll enlighten me as to why I'd care about a person who wrote one of the most boring books I've ever been faced with. Yuck! I could barely get through 4 paragraphs before needing to be rushed to the hospital due to severe boredom. Okay fair enough, you don't like him. But then isn't that a reason to be glad, when he shuffles off this mortal coil?

Sigh, when the going gets tough Michael gets ill.

Well from earlier in this thread;

Erm sorry, I only speak english you know.

All very interesting of course but as none of then are valid candidates for deathlist, isn't this all ultimatly wasted effort?

Getting a Plesk message? Invision Power Boards seem to do that. No what I was getting was; This page is filtered.

Arrghh!, now it won't let me access the front page of the forums: Deathlist Forums Who's been swearing then?

I think he fell out of the car, while it was in motion. Which is quite an achievement really.

We tried, really we did. From the earliest school days to the latest displays in the General Store (almost a Mercantile but not quite), we have been handed metric. Even our rulers are metric on one side or t'other. During the first week of school metric was always given to us in our daily lesson plan. In the more advanced years (high school) it became part of the regular science curriculum whereas in junior high (a.k.a. middle school/intermediate school) it had been a part of the mathematics. I guess I was lucky, not only did I get taught to use Metric at school. But far more importantly I was never taught in Imperial measures (except miles of course)

One wonders why the US didn't go metric after 1790. regards, Hein Probably because most of their trade was still with Britain. In 1790 metric was still being debated by the French Academy of Sciences.

Ah, rumbled at last! You're still a few ahead of me at the moment though. Still at least it gives me an excuse to reply & rack up yet another message.

Is that anything like budgie jumping? Is that something you'd need a parrotchute for? Bad pun alert!

As he's famously reclusive, I think news on his health would be hard to come by. Unless he gets admitted to hospital/nursing home of course. I think there are plenty of old authors, that it would be easier to find information about. I'm thinking of Len Deighton, Ed McBain, D.G. Hessayon.

Why was the bed so despratley needed? Maybe the doc wanted a nap?

Erm, to the best of my knowledge Patrick McGoohan doesn't read this site. Wouldn't one related to him/ the prisoner be a better bet?

Compared with normal? He's always had a funny voice, I can still remember Gamesmaster.

He could just hide out in the centre of Manchester, no fans will find him there.

I suppose you are a fan of Jimi Hendrix and Bonzo? if you dont shut this sadist website down im going to pop a cap in each of your asses If people think that's what you do with a cap, it might help explain this story: Baby Factory Maybe there is something wrong with current sex education in schools.

I am not sure if Vaigra would have worked for him. The only example I have been able to come up with a 100 year-old fathering a child was Abraham from the Bible and he required God's assistance. Vaigra certainly wouldn't have worked, SPAM might have though.

I'd also like to object to the idea that "he would make the streets safer". He's clearly an institutionalised nutter, who would attack the first person he comes across. What is it with some people that they have to make heroes out of the gratuitously violent? (I.E. the Krays)

I'll have whatever he's smoking.

You have to treat these cases with extreme scepticism, often what happens is they "inherit" their parent’s birth date/certificate. People want to be famous in their area, claiming a long life is one way of doing this. The fact that when he was 100, he supposedly fathered an illegitimate child is a dead give away – this was long before the invention of SPAM.

Well not personally no. However the filtering software on the Public Library computer that I use, is somewhat more judgemental. It won't allow you to access pages full of swearwords.
