To that end, I have compiled the following (abridged) lists of the living and the dead. Of course, you must remember that life is a precious and ephemeral thing, and those who schedule a dental appointment at this very moment (Thursday, July 12th, 2012, at 9:35 AM EST) may not survive to have their fillings replaced next week. So if you are intending on getting one of these people a birthday card this year, it would be wise to double-check with Wikipedia first. (Often Wikipedia knows before even the dying person does.)

I'm older than Falco was when he died. Whoo - I've made it!
ReplyDeleteWait... 1940's movie star Lauren Bacall is two years younger than 1970's television star Jean Stapleton? They seem like icons of such different eras. That offends my sense of good order.
