James Flanagan, pioneer of computer voice recognition, dies at 89.
Dean Jones is going to find out if somebody up there actually likes him.
Bummer
Yeah, bummer.
Herbie the Love Bug actually likes him.
Not enough for someone to have picked him.![]()
I liked him in Blackbeard’s Ghost, but I liked Peter Ustinov even better.
I guess he’s no longer Being Alive (www.youtube.com/watch?v=am8qrrZAtP4)
Oh, man, I grew up watching him in all those old Disney live action movies–the Herbie movies, The Shaggy D.A., Snowball Express, That Darn Cat!
Thank you, Dean. Rest in peace.
I’d forgotten he was also in Clear and Present Danger (1994).
Chandra Bahadur Dangi, a Nepalese who according to Wikipedia was the shortest man in recorded history for whom there is irrefutable evidence, died yesterday or today at the age of 75. His height was 0.546 m (1 ft 9 1⁄2 in).
For a 75-year-old man, he lived a very short life.
Please, please, let me put 6ImpossibleThingsB4Breakfast on my list next year.

"Ben Kuroki, who overcame the American military’s discriminatory policies to become the only Japanese American to fly over Japan during the second world war, has died. He was 98.
Crew members nicknamed him “Most Honorable Son” and the War Department gave him a Distinguished Flying Cross. He was saluted by Time magazine in 1944 under the headline “HEROES: Ben Kuroki, American”.
In 2005, Kuroki received the Army Distinguished Service Medal, one of the nation’s highest military honors.
“I had to fight like hell for the right to fight for my own country,” Kuroki said at the award ceremony in Lincoln, Nebraska. “And I now feel vindication.”
In 2010, he received the Audie Murphy Award, given by peers in the military. In a 2012 article in the American Valor Quarterly, Kuroki called the award “the most awesome moment in my life.”
Doubt anyone had this fine gentleman but please read his story.
Bad co ordination between narration and the type of aircraft shown at the first.
