For those wondering why she was on DeathList 1999, it was because she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1997.

Yoshiro Nakamatsu, aka Dr. NakaMats, is 94 today.

Nakamatsu.jpg

He's a Japanese inventor, who some might describe as 'eccentric' while some might describe him as ' completely unhinged'. 

 

He claims to hold the world record for inventions (over 3,200), including what he claims is the floppy disk, before IBM (IBM denies this but has licensed 14 patents of his, but nothing to do with floppy disk), as well as an aphrodisiac to 'save Japan' amidst its declining birthrate (again, nothing to do with floppy dicks).

 

In 2014 he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and not expected to live beyond 2015. He also claims that he'll live to the age of 144. (I'm relying on you youngsters to keep track of this claim).

American singer songwriter   Rosie Gaines celebrates her 62nd birthday today.

I remember dancing to her song 'Closer than close 'in the 1990s on the dance floor in gay nightclubs in Liverpool with some rather sexually excited older guys joining in and bopping on the dance floor with me.. !! Thanks for those memories Rosie!

Swedish politician and diplomat Hans Blix is 94 today.

 

Tasked by the UN to investigate weapons of mass destruction allegedly held by Saddam Hussein's Iraq, approximately 700 inspections were carried out but no WMDs were ever found. The USA chose to ignore his findings and went to war anyway. The USA ordered the CIA to find dirt on him to undermine his findings; they failed, but USA went to war anyway.

Former Warwickshire & England Cricket captain MJK Smith is 89 today. Born in, and played for Leicestershire before moving to Warwickshire to become their captain (back when you needed to be an amateur to Captain a county side, and Warks. had no-one suitable), a role he held for 10 years. He made his Test debut in 1958 and was in and out the side, making the last of 50 appearances in 1972, captaining the side 25 times. He retired from playing in 1975.

 

He's the last Englishman to become a double-international (i.e. represent the country at two different major sports) by virtue of his sole Rugby Union international appearance (v Wales) in 1956 to add to his cricket caps. 

 

He's also Sebastian Coe's father-in-law.
