    In case anyone has forgotten... NBC presents a (much too long) list of all the famous people who died this year.

    I feel like there are a few that aren't even on the list and the list is long

    “They were running to the car when (Carpenter) slipped, fell, hit his head and slipped into a coma. It was just a freak accident.

    It just reinforces the fact that you never know when the worst can happen. Human life is fragile; any little thing can happen and it could be taken away just like that. So sad!

    No... That's not what I meant. He isn't dead. He is the only person who could be responsible for this many deaths of our beloved.

    This is why I am not scared to fly, I see people harp about plane crashes and terrorists and all that shit but I see it this way... life is limited so eh if it is going to end it is going to end. And honestly id rather it end at 700mph into something solid than slowly and hooked up to tubes like I am locutus of borg.
    Today we sail
    On the Solar Rail
    For there's much we just don't know
    So farewell with a kiss
    Then it's fast for the mist
    Till we're sleeping in the cold below

    Ahhh, didn't see the bottom line.

    I initially said "That's not funny" but after reading the rest, it is.

    What's the joke I heard a few years back? Why doesn't GRRM use Twitter?

    He can't, he killed all 140 characters.

    Would it make sense to start/sticky a yearly death thread rather than having one giant one?

    Technically it started as a death pool thread, where people would guess who was going to pass away next. For that you need continuity. But it has sort of evolved to an obit thread.
