What's so significant about some talentless bimbo dying young? Happens all the time. Does it change anyone or anything? No. Significant? No. While Heath Ledger's death was bigger news (and I, like him are from down under and have been saturated with coverage) is it significant? Doubt it. Re: American ignorance of Suharto - nothing surprises me! But he was a significant world player for decades, mostly not for good. The legacy he has left, in corruption, East Timor, Aceh, Islamic terrorism, remains a major issue in today's world. Still doesn't answer my Boris Karloff question.

Boris Karloff died in '69, that's significant, at least to me it is. & what about Anna Nicole Smith, for 2007, that was significant, or at least shocking.

Has anyone mention Brad Renfro, or Heath Leger?

George Jung, would he be a good candidate for 2008?

I'd rather the Undertaker won the fastest time, & not Mr.Kennedy.

go to wwe.com for info.

Bam Bam Bigalow has passed away.

Didn't Mark Twain die on his birthday?

I don't know if this has been mentioned or not, but former WWE wrestler Bam Bam Bigalow has passed away.

Some interesting choices, but since I've been put to shame with my spelling today, I'd like to pass the torch and mention that it's Martin Landau, Karla Homolka and Magic Johnson. Trust me, it's better that I point them out than others here. I'm merely a gentle prodding. Merv Griffin and Christopher Lee (although I'm sure Christoher was a typo ) Yes, the Christopher was a typo. But, hey, at least I was close with most of them. & I should've known the Homolka one. Fidel Castro. Now you're just doing it on purpose, aren't you? Don't make me purposely spell things wrong.

Jimmy Carter, why not William Shatner & Leonard Nimoy they;ll both be 76 this year.

10 & Dunn

The people in my signature could be hopeful 2008 canidates. Heck, one of them has already died this year. But unfortunately it was a Canadian, who'll be sadly missed, so hopeflly they'll induct her into the Canadian hall of fame this year.

If this were an actual post, it'd be followed by some information, along with...

Nah, Socks is just an old cat,plus I'm a squirrel, we hate animals bigger than us.

well hey, if we have to hear about the dog from "Fraiser" dying, or about the moose in the opening credits of "Northern Exposure" dying, then lets make a pet list. I've got my hopes/eyes on the former white house cat, Socks. He's gotta go soon, unless he's dead already.

Hey, she was on my list this year, as well. {ok she was on last years too, but still}

I don't know if it's been metioned already, or not, but John "the Earthquake" Tenta died.

Since you people scoffed at my serious Socks the cat question , I figured I ask a question more to you liking. Are Frankie & Annette still alive, or have they passed on? Frankie = Frankie Avalon Annette = Annette Funicello {sp?}

Am I blind or has no-one mentioned Dana Reeves death? {or whatever Chris' wifes name was} [Moved from the Near Misses for 2006 thread - ff]

Do you have a link? 'cause I can't find anything on it.

Don Knotts died just recently,but I can't seem to find anything of his death on this site. Nevermind.

I heard on the news that the creator of Curious George was found dead in a dumpster. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,184263,00.html Ok, so he was a collaborator, he still had something to do with the monkey.

Maybe I'm psychic, & it's a prediction. Wouldn't it be freaky if he died this year? Let alone this month?
