It was only a 365.25 to 1 shot that it was on the same day. Whilst it isn't a 5 year interval death (that's next year) I would have given you a like if you'd have provided a picture (or possibly even a cartoon likeness). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted June 10, 2016 Antoni Gaudi, architect; his surname the genesis of the word 'gaudy' to describe his over-the-top kitschy designs - 90 years Jack Johnson, boxer, first black heavyweight champ - 70 years 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,149 Posted June 10, 2016 Antoni Gaudi, architect; his surname the genesis of the word 'gaudy' to describe his over-the-top kitschy designs - 90 years That is not true. The word 'gaudy' is much older than that, it's in Shakespeare. Comes from the Latin gaudere, meaning rejoice/celebrate, I think. Those A levels not completely forgotten 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
