John Sarno no longer feels any pain.

The creator of Paddington Bear, Michael Bond, dies at 91. I didn’t even know he was still around. I’m glad he got to see the movie from a couple of years back, as it was a delight.

He had a cameo in the movie.

Afghan Whigs guitarist Dave Rosser dies at 50 years/points.

No confirmation yet, but I saw a report saying that Casey Anthony was found dead at 29 years old.

ETA: Here’s the report I saw.

NM: Just checked snopes. It’s not true.

Damn it! Why ya wanna do that to me,** Superdude**?

ALWAYS check your source. :smiley:

Geri Allen, an influential pianist and educator whose dense but agile playing reconciled far-flung elements of the jazz tradition, died on Tuesday at a hospital in Philadelphia. She was 60.

Her publicist, Maureen McFadden, said the cause was cancer.

I had to keep you on your toes. Either that, or admit I screwed up.

One tip off, Warren, Ohio is a good 50 miles from I-71.

I-71 starts in Louisville (where I live), and runs up through Cincinnati. Beyond that, my Ohio geography is lacking.

It’s almost half-time and I haven’t scored yet? WT ever-loving F?
I gotta come out hard for the second half. Eye on the prize, baby!

Kiss Him Goodbye

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is still probably, kinda sorta, mostly dead.

have we ever had a Death Pool scenario like this before?

Yeah, I think so, something a little like it. Ten years ago there was that Fossett guy who crashed his plane in the Sierras and was not located for many months. Not sure if he was on any lists that year.
