Not only Indians. Mao's secretary Li Rui has been treated for multiple organ failure since the beginning of April, my boy Le Duc Anh has survived a huge hemorrhagic stroke at 97 and many other seem to be just ethernal. But they will go... I might have enough time on Earth to see it happening.

Du Muoi also.

Maybe they are story-relevant NPCs.

However, I think it's obvious now that Karunanidhi won't leave that hospital alive. Did I jinx it now? Well, he should write me a thank you-letter.

Heckler? And somebody called it?

 

I'll get my coat, hat, shoes and tie. I'll pick up my trousers later.....

Paul Laxalt, a former Governor of Nevada and Senator from that state, has died.  He was 96.  His death comes as grandson Adam Laxalt looks to follow in his granddad's footsteps, having secured Nevada's Republican nomination for the upcoming gubernatorial election.

Statement from hospital says Karunanidhi's condition has significantly declined to extremely critical and unstable. Dead within the day I'd presume. 

[Thatcher 2,124]

M. Karunanidhi, 3rd Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, has died aged 94. 

 

Edit: BBC, Daily Mail obituary.

[msc 17,759]

Yup, here's your problem. Someone set this thing to "mortal".

Honestly, given the rumours that were floating around in the country when Jayalalitha dies, I wouldn't be surprised if he had died during the last scare and this was just an effort to control public chaos (of cours, with Jayalalitha, it woas both the public chaos thing and the allowing her aide to take over her political party thing...)

[gcreptile 10,223]

I really should have picked him for the DDP, at least the B-Team.

[drol 10,046]

Nah, I know these kind of movies, he will be back for a final scare.

Rare photo of Kim Yong-ju attending a ceremony in North Korea. Looks decent for his age.

M Karunanidhi's health made 21 members of his party so sad, they committed suicide:

Two more Karunanidhi idolizers have died, this time via a stampede at his funeral.

Ah ah. By the way Karunanidhi has changed his tracheostomy tube but he has already been discharged, the fat fuck.

 

Edit: And don't forget Atal Bihari Vajpayee and George Fernandes. Beyond human possibilities.

Update on Vajpayee: serious but stable.

[gcreptile 10,223]

Hmm, I wonder if its more serious stability or stable seriousness.

Why so serious?
