Thank msc for confirming my intuition!

Really??? You could knock me over with a feather... I could have sworn he was at least independent!

What about Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson?

Wrong Kenny, numbnuts!

Let's not forget that Julius Caesar declared himself dictator for life and died surrounded by 30 of his closest "friends" (no knife/stabbing emoji?!)

One can only hope that the Weinstein fallout empowers people who are assaulted/harassed/abused to speak out when their accusations may be acted upon legally. But so many years after the fact, it comes down to "he said, she said".

I might catch hell for this, but a 32 year old accusation is absurd. Yes, harassment might have occurred, but the time to speak out was a long, long time ago. Now it just looks like people are jumping on the current bandwagon.

could have sworn Darlene Cates had died years ago. RIP.

Three words: American healthcare system (or four words if you like: American health care system). Hospitals get you in and out as fast as possible to free up beds for other insured customers patients so they can make more money.

"We're waiting for the undertaker and the stone mason, in that order." - Vaughan as Delaney in "Oliver's Travels"

"Bowie, Muhammad Ali and Castro have got to be the three biggest contenders for this year's most iconic death in a year of many celebrity deaths" Prince should also get honorable mention... just as iconic as the rest of this lot, and his death was much more unexpected

Quite a few assisted suicides in the news this week. Alexis Arquette and W.P. Kinsella to name two.

Coming up on the SIXTH anniversary of Zsa Zsa's last rites (August 15?)... she may really be immortal

http://www.findagrave.com/ If I remember correctly, the person who keeps this site updated also collects a spoonful of dirt from each of the graves. I submitted the first photo of Phil Stong's grave, and I'm almost certain I sent along a dirt sample.

In Vienna there are dozens of euphemisms for death and dying. My favorite is "s/he took the Seventy-One," the 71 being the streetcar that goes directly to the Central Cemetery!
