Actor Chris Penn (Sean's brother).

 

Sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere.

 

/Desperate to be first

I wonder if he was trying out anything he learned on the set of the film The Darwin Awards?? ;)

Chris McKinstry has committed suicide at the age of 38.He was one of the leading researchers in artificial intelligence in the world and operated the worlds largest telescope in Chile..He posted his suicide note on his weblog shortly after taking an overdose of pills and died the same afternoon.

He couldn't spell very well. I wonder if that was the drugs. Some interesting ideas.

I've just read the suicide note on his blog & I can't stop shivering now...mmm, perturbing. Young & obviously a brilliant mind, so it seems a shame.

 

I also note that he lists Moby under his favourite music, but I can't fathom why this stands out for me or even if it has any relevence- but I do know that I listened to an ex-girlfriend's Moby CD once & I was proper depressed for days.

I just found out that last Thursday, Slim Whitman, or whatever his name was, died, & that he's being buried today, or something.

I read it on the info/news channel. It said Slim something, I'm pretty sure that it was Whitman.

Too much to hope that it was Fatboy I suppose?

Isn't that the second or third death from Reservior Dogs amongst the actors in recent years?

:lol: Nevermind I got him mixed up with Wilson Picket. I guess that's what I get for reading the news before I go to bed. :flame:

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

Sudharmono, Vice-President and deputy to DL candidate Suharto

A tad obscure. I happen to recognise the name, but I wonder if he'll get a broadsheet or BBC obit.

Probably not. I only posted him because of his relation to a DL candidate.

 

And I finally did something I always chide others for. Apologies to you Octo, I missed your post on Faynard Nicholas. :lol:

Pornstar Anna Malle has apparentely died according to her homepage.

 

Can't back this up with a news article, but it'd be a bit odd if her own site was playing such a strange joke.

 

Too bad, she was a fine actress from what I'd seen. I'd be tempted to do an avatar tribute, but I think there's enough questions out there about the sex of our forum regulars...

I think the second part of your screen name might provide enough clue as to your gender for most of us here, Paul.

 

BTW, I've been meaning to ask (no doubt I'm going to show my ignorance to all now), but who is that odd looking geezer in your current avatar?

 

Is he a Canadian Conservative?

Johannes Rau

 

Former German president

Blast! Now that you mention him I remember seeing a program on Jerry TV that mentioned his poor health. We could have got him on the list.

That's Gilles Duceppe, leader of the Bloc Quebecois. I forget exactly why I chose him to be my avatar... I think it had something to do with me hating the Bloc Quebecois and wanting to propegate some wishful thinking.
