Olivia Newton-John has competition...

Interesting. Any relation to Sonny West? (Probably, they wrote a book together.)

Former Nepalese king Gyanendra Shah hospitalised for heart ailment: https://kathmandutribune.com/nepals-former-king-gyanendra-shah-hospitalized/ He already suffered a heart attack in 2014 which prompted Bibliogryphon to suggest him for 2015.

Of course, funny, but the virus is not so rare!

Simon Ricketts is talking about life and death and everything in a podcast. Haven't listened to it yet: https://www.acast.com/regrets-of-the-dying/simon?autoplay

There was systematic abuse of choir boys of the Regensburger Domspatzen for decades, yet their choirmaster for 30 years, Georg Ratzinger, brother of Pope Benedict, has no knowledge: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-40643253

Mark Tully, former head of the BBC India bureau, critically ill: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/dehradun/senior-journalist-mark-tully-critically-ill-referred-to-delhi/articleshow/59507001.cms

So it was brain surgery: http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2017/07/17/537748077/neurosurgeon-mccains-recovery-from-brain-surgery-might-take-weeks Lindsey Graham says that McCain is dying.... to get back: http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/342466-graham-on-mccain-after-surgery-he-sounded-like-the-old-john-mccain-dying-to

But I believe he can die.

My avatar pretty conclusively proves that I'm black.

Should I create a thread about R Kelly?

John McCain's ailment may be more serious than previously thought, so that it now has the potential to kill off the Obamacare repeal for good: https://politicalwire.com/2017/07/16/mccains-surgery-may-serious-thought/ https://politicalwire.com/2017/07/17/mccain-absence-kill-health-care-bill/#disqus_thread

And who knows - the courts might even look more favorably upon Collins' wish to die - at least the court at The Hague.

Well, you've probably never seen the two of them in a room together. (sorry for the obvious reply)

I am a bit puzzled about the supposed decline in viewership. I've never watched it myself. But I've kept reading and hearing a lot about it in the past 10 years or so. I don't recall this being the case before. I think the show is having a growing effect on global nerd/geek culture.

RIP... kind of a big death in movie world. Just had to check if Wes Craven was alive, who basically repeated Romero's feat of reviving the horror genre. He's actually dead, I had forgotten.

Brad Pitt is apparently involved in it. The "12 Monkeys" Pitt would work.

Haha! There were rumours of that before. Because "there are lots of songs we still haven't used". So you'll get a cash grab sequel with ABBA b-sides. I'll probably watch it.

The eventual "best" outcome might be that the Pentagon announces that al-Baghdadi is "dead with 99% probability". But there will be no date of death, no cause or place and no matching confirmation from ISIS.
