    Donald J Trump

    True... so I just saw that article from two weeks ago: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12040548 Exceeding the prognosis of his doctors... now on immunotherapy, can't get any more chemo.

    On that note, does anyone ever die from kidney cancer? DJ Casper and Mazie Hirono are still alive, and Mark E. Smith had it on top of terminal lung cancer.

    Donald J Trump

    An idea that gets better with time like fine wine. I kind of feel sorry for her. She only wanted to be a trophy wife, possibly divorce him once Barron was old enough (IF Donald was still alive by then). Now the various contradictions must be straining her.

    What Are You Listening To Right Now?

    Harry Reid

    Hmm, they got it early, or so they say. But even then, the non-neuroendocrine version at stage I has a 5-year survival rate of only 14%. However, I think he'll have a slightly better chance than that - because he is tough and gets some of the best care. A bit like Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I kind of liked him - when he was still active and I was obsessed with US politics. Could be feisty when he wanted to, didn't want it enough, though.

    Fringe research, but here it goes: A QO source says that prospective Sunderland Owner Stewart Donald agrees to sell Eastleigh FC: http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/11372669/prospective-sunderland-owner-stewart-donald-agrees-to-sell-eastleigh And the following article from the Daily Echo says that Eastleigh chief executive Mark Jewell has been ill lately: http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/16224211.Eastleigh_FC_to_stay_in_familiar_hands/

    Greg Gilbert's crowdfunded cancer treatment is working: http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/16223191.Greg_Gilbert_s_crowdfunded_cancer_treatment_gives_new_hope/?ref=mr&lp=11 Hmm, I correctly guessed that out of Stefan Karl and Greg Gilbert one would die, and one would survive. Now we know who is who.

    Aretha Franklin

    Last week, another concert had to be cancelled. No new date set. Now, she has no more scheduled concerts. https://celebrityaccess.com/2018/05/08/aretha-franklin-cancels-boston-show-citing-health/

    Zhang Ouying, a chinese football player who played in two Olympic Games and three FIFA world cups, 42 years old, has been diagnosed with lung cancer: https://patch.com/california/san-diego/fundraiser-launched-san-diego-olympian-battling-cancer Zhang Ouying is a woman and played in women's teams, so I doubt her death is going to receive a tenth of the coverage a male player of such stature would get. She now teaches football in San Diego and her nickname is "Coach O".

    Predictions not death anyone else feeling psychic

    I make a prediction: Ronan Farrow (son of Woody Allen, or more likely, Frank Sinatra) will become US president one day.

    Historically Already Dead Pool

    But now you also have to delete the regional newspapers (like ellwoodcity.org) and non-newspapers (like lavendermagazine).

    The 6th Death of 2018

    I want to cram in one more hit before John McCain - Leah Bracknell.

    Tessa Jowell

    That's the rule I heard. So I assume "fewer" is correct? But I don't want to turn into Stannis Baratheon.

    Joni Mitchell

    Last month's news....but there is a bit of an argument about honoring her with a statue in her hometown of Saskatoon. It's going to happen soon, but because of her health, she is unable to travel there: http://thestarphoenix.com/entertainment/local-arts/joni-mitchell-promenade-council-votes-unanimously-to-honour-iconic-musician-along-river-landing

    Ideas and Possibilities for 2019

    When I first found him, it said that he got hospitalized because his health had declined. Then, about 3 weeks later (while still valuable for my Cup team) it said that his health had deteriorated again. Apparently, it then deteriorated another time - and then it deteriorated for good.

    The fucked did they do this site

    So I was in Poland over the weekend and tried to access the forums on mobile yesterday, and it said I was banned. I could still access the main page, but not the forum. Once I was back in Germany, it was fine again. Is the forum banned in Poland?

    Tessa Jowell

    "One less after Tess" - is that acceptable english? Or is it "fewer"?

    Louis Farrakhan

    Turned 85 yesterday. A german article says that he's been ailing for a few years now. Doesn't sound particularly bad though.

    The Express called it "ends his life": https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/957749/dead-euthanasia-switzerland-dignitas-david-goodall-doctor-scientist-104 Sounds unnatural to me.

    Actually, I think I distinctly remember that diagnosis. He has it since 2014: http://www.completemusicupdate.com/article/damo-suzuki-film-crowdfunding-campaign-launched/

    Close To The End

    For some reason I was waiting for news like this. I was surprised he survived Jaki Liebezeit and Holger Czukay.
