    Note that he says Phelps himself was excommunicated from the church in August. If true this is news itself. EDIT: I just realised I should have suggested this fucker for the front page after Camping carked it. Oh well. Maybe they can picket his funeral with 'god hates phelps ' signs. Just read that post very well written i like the destroyed by the monster he made part ,so true.

    Benn There, Done It?

    was he ever on the list? No . A few of us were surprised he was omitted this year probably just down to either forgetting about him , or the fact he wasn't a nailed on certainty to die this year.

    Will Transhumanism Kill The Deathlist?

    I read something on a russian billionaire who wants to upload minds , I think that has a chance to take off in the coming decades. The human body is old technology and is very inefficient and once Pandora's box has been opened it won't close . Eyes that never degenerate and see better ,ears that hear better , legs that never get tired or hurt running . The moment someone sees the benefit of one argumentation they will want another and another. At that point when someone is 51% cybernetic 49% flesh and bone are they human anymore ? They have believe it or not even bulit a cybernetic sperm . Once you have part human part cyborgs that can self replicate you pretty much are seeing the end of flesh and bone humans ,especially with falling fertility rates. http://sploid.gizmodo.com/scientists-create-a-controlled-cyborg-sperm-that-can-sw-1481503095 They are already taking out jobs , next it will be our women . Not sure i would want to sleep with a cybernetic woman, but then again suppose it would depend on her skills haha. http://business.financialpost.com/2014/03/14/machines-that-can-learn-could-replace-half-of-american-jobs-in-the-next-decade-or-two-oxford-study/?__lsa=de41-c9de This is a subject that really interests me because me , you or anyone who can live for the next 40 years reading this have a realistic chance to live forever . The idea's are there , The technology is not far away and you have billionaires willing to fund it. http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2012-07/billionaires-russian-mogul-wants-upload-your-brains-immortality I still think there will be a place for the deathlist though , large groups of people will reject it and im sure even part cyborg part humans can die too, accidents etc.

    Benn There, Done It?

    Always had a grandad feel about him . I knew nothing about him before the iraq war, and that was the first time i got into politics and like many others opposed it . He gave some excellent speeches about us not going into war if only someone had listened to him.

    The Fringes Of Fame/family Of The Famous

    Seems similar to bernie nolan's final months ,though i don't think bernie had her lungs drained probably because they have different cancers.

    Who Would You Give A State Funeral?

    Maybe you should just take a look around the internet for a few minutes and think about whether you want to re-assess that claim? Yea there is some bad things out there but also some good things too. I highly doubt savile and others would of been called to task and there was some justice without the internet. I think the internet has opened alot of people's eyes some for better some for worse. Afterall knowledge is power and the internet gives everyone that power at the tip of their fingers.

    The Ukraine Crisis

    I hate the way our media are making out russia are bad guys in this ? Ok they aren't wholly innocent but i wonder what would happen if Russia instigated regime change in Mexico . Fact of the matter is This guy was a democratically elected leader overthrown by a bunch of thugs led by a boxer, just think about that for a minute. Simply because he wanted closer ties with Russia not the EU or USA, a peaceful solution would be to give Crimea back to Russia and split Ukraine in two . Why force the Russian ethnic parts of Ukraine into a union they want no part of? The rebels that overthrew the Ukrainian government have threatened to cleanse Ukraine of non Ukrainian's and the threat is there. But Obama and the west greatly underestimated Putin , he is running circle's around them especially Obama .

    Don't know if this was posted anywhere i couldn't find it but chris tarrant if in a spot of Heart trouble on the plane back from Thailand, I think you treated yourself to one too many 18 year old thai escorts Chris . http://www.dailymail...g-Thailand.html Or maybe he had too many ladyboys

    Joost Van Der Westhuizen

    I know that once you get artificially ventilated for extended period of time your chances of pneumonia and other illnesses skyrocket , i would say he has a 50/50 chance of dying this year .

    Football

    To be fair, he could live another 8 or 9 years, still be working, and your post would hold true..... That might well be true but my prediction is based on United possibly losing this tie, not qualifying for the Champions League for 2014/15 and BT Sport getting it from 2016! Your right i never thought of that. He always has United in the Europa league to commentate over though haha

    Wrestlers/actors

    Makes health changes and gets in the best shape in years and develops cancer . An Alanis Morissette song is coming into my mind right now. Jagged Little Pill? No I don't think they give 'em pills, they get chemotherapy. Whatever he gets i have a feeling he will DDT cancer right out of its boots . By gawd king cancer maybe broken in half.

    Too Young To Die!

    under 40 for me . The 40s are right inbetween , anyone living 50 and over can't really be described as too young to die IMO.

    Astronauts

    Yeah, I read that. 3% fatality rate for NASA's space voyagers, hadn't realised it was that high and I'm assuming it includes the Challenger 7, who didn't even get a sniff of space flight on their mission. Bring out the Branston, eh? Angelina jolie , tom hanks and bob geldof are all taking part. Imagine if a big star like that dies in this manner it will be news for weeks !! I remember i was talking to someone on here about stopping normal programming for breaking the news of someone's death well if one of these crashes you can bet they will do that. If several famous celebs/ businessman /rich people etc die will your looking at 9/11 type coverage .
