msc 18,479 Posted April 23, 2011 Jeez, my heart did a substantial jump on seeing this thread bumped. Ray is still writing best I know, an inspiration to all writers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notaguest 16 Posted April 23, 2011 I have noticed that too many nonagenarians on the list have lingered too long.I am therefore expecting a sudden flood of ninety something deaths at any time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Flag 84 Posted June 6, 2012 Hit number 5 then. Wasn't sure if he was on the list at first - could have sworn he was but then I searched for his name and couldn't find him (I guess because Ray is less than 4 letters and doesn't get picked up) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

angryGreatness 96 Posted June 6, 2012 Death is a Lonely Business A Graveyard for Lunatics  Surely a worthy obit titlle can be made from those. RIP anyway, I used Farenheit 451 as the subject of my Junior AP Literature exam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest Posted June 6, 2012 Ray Bradbury has died at 91. Very sad loss http://io9.com/59161...tian-chronicles  Oh just realised he's on this list.yippee!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted June 6, 2012 Not even halfway through the year and allready 5 hits.is it possible we could get into double figures for the first time in 3 years? We dare to hope! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magere Hein 1,400 Posted June 6, 2012 Nice timing: dying while a Transit of Venus is happening. I don't think he wrote about such astronomical phenomena, but he might have. Â Edit to add: one of his short stories has as a tiltle: "Bang! You're Dead!". Works for me as an obit title. Â Five hits means that we're right on par for a double figure final score in 2012. Â regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adrian0719 224 Posted June 7, 2012 I noticed that on the main page it has Ray Bradbury as June 6th. I'm kind of a rookie here, but Ray died on the 5th. Not sure if you list them by their date of death or the day it was reported. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if you list them by their date of death or the day it was reported. Well he died in California at night on the 5th so maybe if it was posted by someone in a British Time Zone it was already the 6th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
