With him and Mr. Wizard dead, my childhood educational TV is nearly gone.

Indie rocker Mark Linkous, 47 year old suicide.
Suicide is always a bold career move for any artist. Sure hope it pays off for him.
Is it wrong that I am already working on my 2011 list?
Ok, Is it wrong that I have three lists that I’m working on?
Not at all…I began working on my 2011 list on January 1st. Any time you read about someone being diagnosed with cancer or something, onto the short list they go for later consideration.
Ah, well, if you want to totally not go for a theme, I guess that would be the easy way out.
Several of my 2011 list has died.
I am most annoyed.
Did I mention I have three lists?
But looking at it, there is one list that is head and shoulders about the other two.
I have one working list, shifting from the pool of some 200 Grim Reaper candidates.
Narrowing it down to the 13 to keep needs some kind of system, and as Ms Ujest mentioned, they are dying off at amazing rates. My 2011 list is really pushing up the daisies, a year too soon.
Meanwhile… the 2010 list lives on and on, like barnacles on the backside of creation.
depends on the type and timing.
For instance, if it’s pancreatic, that’s an automatic listing for me - it’s almost a slam dunk, as long as they survive the current year. But if it’s breast cancer I probably won’t consider it unless “stage 4” or “metastasized” is in the conversation somewhere…
Of course, if it were Hef, Larry King or Zsa Zsa, I still wouldn’t put them on…
Even if he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and at 11 p.m. on New Year’s Eve he had written a suicide note and was standing on the George Washinton Bridge with explosives taped to his body, the detonator in one hand and a Magnum .45 in the other and annouced he had swallowed every fatal pill known, my list would still be lacking the name Keith Richards.
Of course not - we all know how that one would shake out! He’d stumble one time, and instead of falling OFF the bridge, he would fall backwards, AWAY from the edge of the bridge, dropping the gun in the process and getting the tape tangled on the deadman switch on the detonator so it wouldn’t blow.
The pills wouldn’t affect him other than to effectively chemo the pancreatic cancer because he’s built such an immunity to various toxins…
But yeah, I feel your pain 
Six big points for entrants that chose William Saxby former US Senator from Ohio and US Attorney General under Nixon.
Satch Davidson, the umpire who was behind the plate for two of baseball’s most storied home runs, has died at the age of 75. When Hank Aaron hit his 715th career homer to break Babe Ruth’s mark, Davidson made sure “Hammerin’ Hank” touched home plate. A year later, Davidson made sure the ball Carlton Fisk hit in the twelfth inning of World Series Game #6 stayed fair, giving the Boston Red Sox the game (though they would lose the decisive contest the next day).
NETA :
FUCK NO.
Shit.
