    I like the giant continuous thread.

    Taking it into separate threads would involve having to SEARCH multiple threads (which would involve finding them first) and searching uses CPU cycles on the hosting provider due to database wibbly wobbly time-y wime-y things.

    With it all in one thread I can just hit "search thread" instead of hitting advanced search and refining, or worse, using the search box and returning thousands of results.

    i went to see the Gunther Gable Williams Farewell Tour when i was about 6 or 7 years old. i was not especially impressed.

    I think circus vargas does a much better job.

    Gene Cernan, last man to walk the moon.

    We haven't had a manned expedition up there since 1972? Mindboggling.

    Yeah, everyone loves de-funding NASA, and it's been under-funded since the USSR stopped being a thing anyway.

    I don't think we've even had an UNMANNED mission to the moon since then, but China has.

    Last I heard, China is planning a manned mission by 2020 as a precursor to mining He3.

    Obviously, that doesn't line up with US corporate interests because we love being rogered by the saudis for oil instead, but we could have been making large strides and simply haven't been.

    Too many buyouts towards the people who do the voting.

    Just imagine how much NASA the money wasted on that boondoggle in Iraq could have bought...
    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

    Precisely my point.

    Everyone likes to keep saying that throwing money at the military industrial complex is really, really good for the economy because it stimulates technological advances, funds scientific innovation, and is why we're as advanced as we are as a country.

    Somehow everyone seems to forget that we don't HAVE to funnel that money through a military system that pulls this crap FIRST in order to get the same results with regards to technological innovation.

    Also, going back to the original point of this thread, GUESSING deaths, I'm going to say Jan Michael Vincent bites it this year.

    I mean, I sure hope not because it looks like he FINALLY got a handle on his alcoholism and IV drug use around the time he turned 70, but it was so bad that they had to amputate part of one of his legs...which doesn't bode well for a guy in his 70's with a 40 year history of it.

    I just googled him. Holy moly, I hadn't seen a picture of him since I was a raving teenage Air Wolf fan in the 80's. Years of hard life, indeed.

    I'll take a long-range flyer for this year on Bush the Elder.

    He and his wife both. When he declined the invite to the Inauguration, he said that his doctor told both he and his wife that if they were outside in January they'd end up six feet under.

    Brenda Barnes. I'm probably the only one who knows this person but she did have a significant impact as one of the first female CEO's of a major corporation and then quitting at PespiCo so she could spend time with her kids. She later became CEO of Sara Lee. She had an impact in my life as she graduated from the college I went to and spoke at my graduation. It was by far the best commencement speech I have heard in person. She had a stroke 6 years ago and died at 63.
