Mario Bunge, argentine philosopher and scientist dies at 100 https://www.infobae.com/sociedad/2020/02/25/murio-el-cientifico-argentino-mario-bunge/ (in spanish)

Incidentally, found out Ida Schuster was in cult classic SF film Death Watch. Filmed in Glasgow in 1979 incidentally so you can see a lot of Glasgow before the conservation work started up*. But anyhow, Schuster's credited role in the film? OLD WOMAN. Forty plus years ago!

That's 5  famous centenarians died since yesterday. At this rate I expect Vera Lynn or Olivia de Haviland to go by the end of the week !

Man, 1918 has no staying power. Ida Schuster (or I guess Hutton Gibson) might be the most famous survivor born that year now.

For me it's mixologist Harry Yee, inventor of the Banana Daquiri and (pictured) the Blue Hawaii.

Apparently relevant enough to be trending on Twitter?

Centenarians are dropping like flies. Surely one of the centenarian cricketers will join them soon as they are aged 105 (last male cricketer to play first class cricket before WW2) & 108 (female test cricketer & probably oldest ever international player at any sport)?

[drol 11,951]

Yes, 1918 is not that strong year.

 

Most mentioned on DL: Lloyd Geering. I think someone here knew him in person.

 

Most important: René de Obaldia, one of the most acclaimed French authors of the last century.

 

Most famous: Hutton Gibson

 

Scientific heroes: Martin Pope (inventor of OLEDs) and Borys Paton (who has been Chairman of Ukraine Academy of Sciences for 58 years)

 

I'm here thank to Voodoo prize: Cameroon tribal leader Victor Mukete

If they are really dropping like flies, did it start with Kirk Douglas?

I've never actually seen a fly drop. In fact, they are almost impossible to hit if you try to smack them. Where the heck did this saying come from?

Former Wrestler and farmer Ramjat Raghav, who has been claimed by various news media as the world's oldest father, died at 104 years. He claimed to have had his first child with his wife at age 94. He fathered a second child at age 96. He died in a fire at his home.

This guy was never 100. Just see his photos, he was around 60 years old when he claimed to be 96. Probably took the ID of an older deceased relative (cough... that's India...). His whole family disappeared some years back. He was probably not even in his 70s when he died. But let's accept the story...
