Agreed, I’m less than a week away from outliving “a right tackle for the New York Jets who ended up a homeless vagrant.”
You’ve outlived Ivan the Terrible by two days. He was a Russian czar who slaughtered 3,000 of his own subjects. He died on March 18, 1584, 374 years before you were born.
I wonder if I can change my name to Satchmo the Terrible? Or even Satchmo the Great and Terrible. Pay no attention to the poster behind the curtain…
YouTube him! He was brilliant.
100% people I’ve never heard of.
You’ve outlived Mike Evans by one day. He was an actor and writer instrumental in two of the first black sitcoms, “The Jeffersons” and “Good Times”. He died of throat cancer on December 14, 2006, when you were 52 years old.
Also, I was two years old when Humphrey Bogart died.
Mike Evans is dead?
There ain’t no cure for the Summertime Blues…or becoming unknown by later generations.
They apparently couldn’t dust for vomit in those days.
You worried me there for a minute, as I didn’t think Steve Howe from Yes and Asia had died!
I’ve not been to the site, as I find these things creepy… I actually calculated the day that I was older than Bill Hicks when he died, and it freaked me out a bit. I’ll not do that again!
yes I’m odd
I entered my date of birth expecting to not get any really well-known people in the results, considering I am only 20 years old.
I was wrong. Shit.
Today, at 38 years and 199 days, I’m half as old as Ayn Rand when she died.
I’ve outlived:
Joseph Smith by almost two weeks. Take that ya Mormon founding basterd!
Francis Horner by three weeks.
Louis XVI of France by 2 months.
Mary Wollstonecraft by 2 months, she wrote Vindication of the Rights of Woman and was the mother of Mary Shelley. FIRE BAD!
I believe it’s fitting that the first person mentioned was Virginia Apgar, a pediatric/neonatal researcher.
Who gives a shit? Basically any person over the age of 45 or so has outlived a buttload of people who lived more than 50 years ago.
Nobody of any note, according to that site. Figgers.
Layne Stanley by a couple weeks, Jesse James by a month. Nobody else I recognize.
I’m not sure I"get" this site at all.
I’ve outlived some serial murderer- fine. However, he doesn’t share my birthday or have any connection at all. There are literally millions of people who died at a younger age than I am now.
I think it’s intended as a reflection of the point Tom Lehrer was making. It’s not seeing that some anonymous person died at a younger age than you’ve lived to. It’s seeing that somebody was able to accomplish something like becoming President in the same amount of time that you’ve currently lived.
I am very pleased to announce that I have outlived Ken Lay. (CEO of Enron, and an all-around not nice guy.)
NFM has outlived Tobias Smollett by two days. He was an editor, translator, critic and author of the picaresque “The Expedition of Humphry Clinker” (1771). He died of an intestinal disorder on September 17, 1771, 190 years before NFM was born.
Poor guy, it sounded like a painful death.
I’ve outlived Joan of Arc by two weeks.
