Guest Guest Posted August 31, 2006 The fact that he is 93 years old and will be the longest lived President in US history should not be overlooked and IMO he should maintain about the same ranking next year as this year: #19 or therabouts. He is going to die sooner or later and not having the oldest president ever on would be a mistake, especially with a list containing 50 names. Furthermore, the year isnt even over yet, in fact there is still 1/3 of it left, something could still happen. I believe he died today? Can anyone confiem?

Ize 3 Posted September 1, 2006 I believe he died today? Can anyone confiem? Your probably thinking of Glenn Ford, an actor who died today, or yesterday, recently anyway. Gerald is still alive to my knowledge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After hovering over this post I would simply believe these words are of Iain, but with the opening letter of this sentence capitalized, that would be nearly impossible.

maryportfuncity 10,043 Posted September 1, 2006 Aye, but if Iain's gone we might be in for some hits. His predictions of death did seem to boost the health of those mentioned. They'll all die without him, or summat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicago103 35 Posted September 7, 2006 Tommorow is the 32nd anniversary of Gerald Ford's pardon of Richard Nixon, it would be something if he died on that anniversary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,043 Posted September 8, 2006 It would be something if he died with his head between Julie Andrews' thighs but, like him carking it on September 9th 2006, I predict it won't happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicago103 35 Posted September 8, 2006 I dont predict it will happen either, I was just saying it would be interesting akin to John Adams or Thomas Jefferson dying on July 4th. Oh and today (the 8th) is the anniversary of the pardon, when I said "tommorow" it was still Thursday the 7th here in Chicago, I know alot of people on this forum are from the UK and a number of hours ahead of us here in the states.

Just sometimes I think the concept of couinsidence should be widely looked into... Coincidence has been explored now and again in literature, most amusingly perhaps by Douglas Adams in his Hitchiker's series with images such as the falling whale and the idea of the improbability drive. Thomas Hardy was fascinated by it too and liked to have characters bump in to each other while toddling around the heath. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest New to Deathlist Posted September 12, 2006 There have been no media reports on Mr. Ford's health since his release from the Mayo Clinic. To me personally as a nurse, this is a bad sign for him. I don't think he has much longer to live Based on reports at the time it sounds as though all has been done that can be done to try and make him well (e.g. pacemaker and angioplasty). The assumption is that he went home to California to spend his final days with his family and die peacefully there. Does anyone else share my sentiment?

I tend to think "ah, gone home to die" when someone leaves hospital. Of course, sometimes they've just been released because they're not ill anymore... I do agree that news of Ford's health has been suspiciously quiet of late. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
