[QUOTE=pokey] I think back when she married rich geezer people looked down on it because they figured she was forfeiting her potential for the bucks but then after the public got to know her a bit better we all realized she could marry a monkey for all it mattered. [/QUOTE] So could I. ---

[QUOTE=PunditLisa] You mean the old geezer or her first husband (who was Danny’s father)? Eww to either but if the child is the biological child of the old geezer then I could see ANS doing that to ensure her share of the $$. Bizarre. [/QUOTE] But have the courts ruled that a child concieved in such a manner would be legally able to inherit anything? It’s not like the Crypt Keeper could give his consent. ---

[/QUOTE] Even if a man is raped he’s still liable for child support and any child resulting from that rape would still have inheritance rights. ---

[QUOTE=alphaboi867] Even if a man is raped he’s still liable for child support and any child resulting from that rape would still have inheritance rights. [/QUOTE] Not necessarily. There was a bitter court battle involving a divorced couple and frozen embroys. The ex-wife wanted to try to concieve using them and the ex-husband wanted them destroyed. I don’t know how the court case was settled, but it was very, very nasty. Oh, I forgot to mention who it was who killed ANS. OJ Simpson. He was picked because of the similarities between the names and appearance of his late wife (who he also killed, in a ritual murder) and ANS. ---

So the leading “contenders” for paternity of the baby are Howard K. Stern, Larry Birkhead, Sean Factorum, J. Howard Marshall, and Frederick von Anhalt. Clearly, this woman died of confusion. ---

[QUOTE=Fiver] How on Earth can you remember that? I went into the Navy in 1989, and my visit to the Atlanta MEPS is lost in the chasms of my memory. [/QUOTE] At that time, he was the County Coroner. A position of great controversy and politicaling at the time. I remember asking him if he could tell more than if I was just alive. He said something like, “We’ll if you’re dead, that’ll keep you from joining. And I can tell if you’re dead.” (The exact exchange is lost in antiquity.) ---

You know, ANS was the kind of celeb who is famous chiefly for being famous. All this media frenzy actually seems a fitting requiem for her.
