Celebrity Deaths (updated weekly)

Enough of this. I'm getting tired of you two arguing with each other. So unless either of you want to get banned, I'd suggest you both not reply to each other anymore for any reason.

Did. . .did you just basically tell Moony and Planet-Man to sit in the corner? Because I find that extremely amusing for some reason. But, good call nonetheless. And good call, Moony amd Planet-Man, for calling a stalemate.

So.

Anna Nicole Smith died. Weird.

Anyone notice the strangely large number of old baseball players dying recently?

Anna Nicole Smith played baseball!? :shock:

But, on topic, no. I hadn't. Examples?

Hank Bauer died today. Lou Burdette and Steve Barber earlier this week. Just before that was a White Sox coach whose name I don't recall, and I believe there was at least another before him.
 
I just think it's interesting that "90" seems to be the new approximate magic number for a lot of recent celebrity deaths.

Has anyone else heard the hypothesis that the first person who'll live to 150 is alive now, and the first person who'll live to 200 will be born relatively soon?

I have not heard that, but I can believe it.

I think it's been said the sum total of human knowledge doubles, like, every five years.

We'll beat death someday. And the sun will explode and it won't matter anyway.

Why would I keep on debating if I have no one to debate with?:?

At any rate I'm glad this is settled.

So am I.

I feel like I should make this clear: We argue constantly, but I really like you Planet-Man. Don't think this is ever personal. Your stubborn and you don't back down and that's great. I think if we had met in the "real world" we'd be really good friends.

And yes, that was totally gay. Even moreso than my usual homoerotic double-entendre punnery.

I believe it. I don't buy all that "thanks to childhood obesity, modern parents are going to live longer than their children" crap. The advancement of medical technology is just going to magically stop at some point?

Actually, it doubles less than every two years.

By 2017, it will double every half-second.*

*Promethea fact.

He totally didn't live up to his billing, but I guess he's a celbrity to some. My favorite moment of his is when he accidently through one of the Insane Clown Posse off the top of a school bus.

Mike Alfonso, better known as Mike Awesome, was found dead on Saturday evening in the Tampa area according to those close to the family. He was 42.

Friends were coming to his home in Tampa to pick him up and go out Saturday night at about 10:30 p.m. and he never answered the door and found him hanging in the home. It is believed the death was due to suicide pending results of the autopsy.

Mike Awesome was one of the top foreign stars in FMW in Japan, who as a high-flying big man was made ECW champion on two occasions in 1999 and 2000. As champion, he signed with WCW, creating a situation that many feel ended up killing the title as Tazz from WWF was brought back to ECW to win the title, yet at the same time the title was jobbed in WWF.

He worked for a few months with WWF after the collapse of WCW, as well as with All Japan, but had not wrestled in some time. He was working as a realtor at Coldwell Banker at the time of his death.

Bob Oksner passed away on the 18th.
Oksner's early work includes creating the second version of Marvel Boy in 1943 for Timely Comics, the 1930s-'40s predecessor of Marvel Comics. He went on to write and draw the syndicated newspaper comic strip Miss Cairo Jones (1945-1947), after which DC editor Sheldon Mayer hired him as an artist on comics adapted from other media. There, he moved from adventure strips to teen-oriented strips. Oksner's work in this field included Adventures of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis and its successor, Adventures of Jerry Lewis; Adventures of Bob Hope; The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis; Sgt. Bilko; Pat Boone; Angel and the Ape;Welcome Back, Kotter; Elvira's House of Mystery, the highly-regarded Stanley and His Monster and for King Features, the newspaper comic 'I Love Lucy'.

When the demand for the kind of comic books he had earlier produced fell off in the 1970s, Oksner began drawing such DC superhero series as Superman,Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Shazam!, Black Orchid, Lois Lane, Ambush Bug, and others. He retired from comics in 1986.

Oksner's other work in comic strips included succeeding Gus Edson as writer of artist-creator Irwin Hasen's Dondi for a time beginning in 1965; and drew and co-creator Soozi (1967), with Don Weldon.
