That is a LOT of deaths!

I don't know what it means about me that I don't recognize most of them....maybe that I don't have a TV? or live in a self-absorbed bubble???

not the TV so much.
it's that i am old(er).

i had scanned a list of notable 2007 deaths.
it was Much longer.

you would have to be at least 50 to know who Mr. Whipple was.
at least 55 to know who Mr. Wizard was.
every name there is in Wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search
( i have forgotten whether we may build hyperlinks into our posts here.)
all of these names with links to their wikipedia articles can be found here:

Yeah - a comedy one might be good, but people sometimes post jokes or funny stuff here at Social & that's probably better.

I must live a sheltered or boring life or something. I'm 60 so I qualify to recognize those names but I don't.
