maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted September 29, 2016 Agnes Nixon http://www.latimes.com/local/obituaries/la-me-agnes-nixon-snap-story.html No 'one life to live' pun? Very disappointing. Not that she'd have seen it this way but there's a classic joke about television producers that goes... How many television producers does it take to screw in a lightbulb? None, they get to screw in the hot tub! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are they just going to get older and older until they disapear in a cloud of dust?? Im half their ages and I am one miserable bastard!! God knows what the hell I'm going to be like at anywhere near their ages.. Hmm, if we add all the ages of these old tools on here together do we get the meaning of death? I got bored at 1000, someone else can count. Im going to bed. This press conference is over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got bored at 1000, someone else can count. Im going to bed. This press conference is over. The king is likely to die very soon. If it wasn't because of all of the hospital officials continually drugging him, he'd be dead now. He's experienced total kidney failure. He's a dead cert at this point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,519 Posted October 4, 2016 Software developer and former CEO of Wikidot Pieter Hintjens had been battling bile duct cancer for years, and was helpful enough to let us know exactly when he'd be euthanised. Due to this Guardian column from early this year, I doubt I'm the only person wearily deleting another longlist entry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,964 Posted October 4, 2016 Definitely not the only one. He was certainly the type of name who needed that Guardian shout to be a longlist contender given how software geeks tend not to do well on the obits front IIRC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That didn't take long! Also, I really need to re-evaluate my estimates of who gets the Daily Mail obit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted October 17, 2016 UFO 'expert' Max Spiers dead at 39 after "vomiting up a black liquid". Well of course he did. Not the first UFO "expert" to die in mysterious circumstances; though whether that proves anything about ET is another matter.Back in the day I knew investigators who weren't above breaking into low level military properties and the like in search of UFO secrets. Gary McKinnon had infilitrated the Pentagon online in search of UFO secrets before he was arrested. Regardless of whether they have any UFO secrets the US authorities took a personal dislike to McKinnon for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
