maryportfuncity 10,642 Posted December 22, 2019 Form Guide #23 Benedict XVI Speaking of aging bishops - let's go one higher and discuss the illness-ridden ex-pope (Pope Emeritus). Benedict's health was often subject to denials and guarded secrets whilst in office but he had a pacemaker and one stroke before anyone elected him Pope and it's been a slow downhill slide since then. Recently thought to have been injured in a fall from his own bed - which is never a good sign for anyone other than dead poolers. We might usefully assume his obit chances are fairly good.

maryportfuncity 10,642 Posted December 27, 2019 Form Guide #25 Dilip Kumar We can keep this simple. Assuming he makes the start line he's 97 years and 21 days old as the flag drops. So, he'll likely be flagging before too long at which point Bollywood's most enduring big name is a nailed-on q/o. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
