Ahmed I, Emperor of the Ottoman Empire, died this day a nice round 400 years ago (27).  He is notable for finally doing away with the insane Ottoman tradition of royal fratricide upon gaining the throne.  Unlike his father, who had 19 of his brothers killed, Ahmed left his lone and much younger brother alone.  Having left no issue, apparently, it would be his younger brother's three boys who would ascend to the throne in years to come.

On this day in 1963,  JFK's assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was shot by Jack Ruby while being escorted to another jail. He died less than 2 hours later.

Probably the most interesting thing about this picture is that one of his escorts is still alive. He is the man to Oswald's right, Jim Leavelle, who is 97 years old.

31 years ago today, Cary Grant died at the age of 82.

Following the news of his death, some guys at Warwick University decided to make a website that predicts who's next.

That website is this website.

How dead Cary Grant?
