Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted August 16, 2014 Margaret Mitchell, author of the novel "Gone With The Wind", died on August 16, 1949 at age 48. She was struck by a taxi as she crossed the street on August 11 and died 5 days later without fully regaining consciousness. That'll explain why she didn't become one of those many annoyingly-long-lived bints associated with that movie (just like the stars of it), then. Elvis Aaron Presley died today in 1977 aged 42... And in people-who-were-less-fat-than-Elvis-based news: Ugandan lunatic/dictator/butcher Idi Amin also died on August 16 - in 2003. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted August 31, 2014 I forgot to post this one yesterday, but since it's still the 30th over in America... Former WWF wrestler Killer Kowalski (real name Walter) died on August 30th 2008. Of course, to most younger wrestling fans he's mainly remembered as the guy who trained Triple H. Also, here on the 31st of August of course it's the day (or night) Princess Diana died in Paris in 1997, in a huge car crash. Hope you guys have got your commemorative plates ready!
