Canadian Paul 97 Posted January 1, 2006 I predict that he will die and that many will be surprised. Glad to see he's on thee list It is nice, but will it prove fruitful? Apparentely, he's fully recovered from a "gastric ulcer hemorraegy." Or were you predicting an instability-related demise Mr. Brimley? I wouldn't be surprised if that were to occur...

BrunoBrimley 86 Posted January 2, 2006 Have you seen the state of affairs in Algeria as of late Paulie? Not at all good and add to that once you've had one gastric disaster you are in a weakened state and run a higher risk of it happening again......we can only hope......

Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted January 2, 2006 As ill as he has been, this is the one that surprises me most. The man has survived at least two assassination attempts & looked, at least robust, upon his return to Algeria the other day. But, hey what do I know? He may drop dead tomorrow. Rather hope he doesn't, he's done quite a good job there & I don't want to see him go before his time. Algeria was lovely when I went a few years ago & I hope it stays that way.

Tomb raider 9 Posted January 3, 2006 Yes, Bouteflika was certainly the most surprising newcomer on the list. Do we have any reason whatsoever to assume he's in bad health, apart from the nasty 'gastric ulcer haemorrhage' he suffered? I mean, that can hardly be considered a terminal illness, can it? And I don't buy it that 'Algeria is such a dangerous country'. If that would be the main-criterium, we could enter a whole bunch of African and Asean statesmen, hoping that at least 15 of them wil be blew up, executed, stabbed or shot. Hell, we could make a pokergame out of that, with each card portraying one of the moving targets! Has that been done before, I wonder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think part of it too is that it's a little more interesting when there are people on the list besides the Lou Rawls or Brooke Astor type. Fun in the forums perhaps?

weatherman90 7 Posted January 4, 2006 I think that he will collapse from a massive heart attack from trying to write and/or pronounce his own name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrunoBrimley 86 Posted January 8, 2006 Fritzie, wouldn't it be more likely he'd hjave a stroke than a heart attack from trying to write his name? I fhtought strokes were more connected to brain working s tthan heart attacks. Anyone know the medical statistics on this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
