Seems Crichton died whilst I was away in Africa. Didn't hear about that one and a bit of a surprise!
If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.

It is a huge pet peeve of mine when special year-end lists are compiled before the year is over......

Re: 2008 Notable Deaths
Do me a favor and bump off some people I would actually recognize, will ya? "Notable" covered a lot of territory. I mean, YOU are notable at Church's and Ponderosa!littlebeast13 wrote:minimetoo26 wrote:littlebeast13 wrote:It is a huge pet peeve of mine when special year-end lists are compiled before the year is over......

I need to clear out my cookies. On that page, I kept getting the Zales ad with the HK pendant, and something for Las Vegas. I felt like I was being stalked........

Re: 2008 Notable Deaths
Now there's a good trick if you can pull it off!
Legendary record producer Jerry Wexler died of congenital heart disease on Aug. 15. He was 91.

Probably meant congestive heart failure but wouldn't congenital be possible? It just means that he was born with it.tanstaafl2 wrote:Now there's a good trick if you can pull it off!

Hmmm. I guess the "disease" part makes that unlikely. Died from a congenital heart condition or defect would make more sense even if unlikely that he would have lived to 91.
No matter where you go, there you are.

Re: 2008 Notable Deaths
Certainly possible to have some type of congenital heart disease (that is a pretty non specific phrase) and survive to 91. Just could not have been particularly severe. Maybe mitral valve prolapse? Septal defect? Perhaps a dysrhythmia of some sort? Anyway, pretty lucky to make it 91 years!andrewjackson wrote:Probably meant congestive heart failure but wouldn't congenital be possible?

Re: 2008 Notable Deaths
Not that it'll ever come up again (in my lifetime anyway) -- I'm still mad about Elway's absence from the top 100 sports stars of the century and Simpson making it because they had it all ready before 1998!littlebeast13 wrote:It is a huge pet peeve of mine when special year-end lists are compiled before the year is over......

Re: 2008 Notable Deaths
No wonder there's a population crisis.
Only 107 people died in the whole year (up till now).
And it's really weird that they were all celebrities.
