I remember his TV show. He would come on stage holding 10 lbs of fat, wrapped up like meat, and tell us that this is what we’re carrying around.

Shirley Drebin Dies at 84

LOS ANGELES — Leslie Nielsen, who traded in his dramatic persona for inspired bumbling as a hapless doctor in “Airplane!” and the accident-prone detective Frank Drebin in “The Naked Gun” comedies, died on Sunday in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. He was 84.
The Canadian-born actor died from complications from pneumonia at a hospital (a big building with patients, but that’s not important right now) near his home at 5:34 p.m., surrounded by his wife, Barbaree, and friends, his agent John S. Kelly said in a statement.
Thanx for making me lol…a lot.

RIP Benoit Mandelbrot

Benoit Mandelbrot, whose pioneering work on fractal geometry made him one of the few modern mathematicians to approach widespread fame, died October 14 at the age of 85. The cause, his wife told The New York Times, was pancreatic cancer.
Mandelbrot coined the term “fractal” in 1975 to describe irregular shapes in nature and in mathematics that exhibit self-similarity—like snowflakes or Romanesco broccoli, they look roughly the same at varying scales. The so-called Mandelbrot set, a plot of complex numbers whose boundary forms a fractal, provided perhaps the most visually entrancing embodiment of the concept.

The GOP and fans will miss you. I didn’t even know he could sing. Maybe I’ll down load some of his music.

His last words were to tell his doctor, “ood luck, and we’re all counting on you.”

There are worse ways to die than falling asleep and not waking up. I hope things go well for his family.

Ed: That’s no way for a man to die.
Frank: No…you’re right, Ed. A parachute not opening…that’s a way to die. Getting caught in the gears of a combine… having your nuts bit off by a Laplander, that’s the way I wanna go.
Wilma: Oh….Frank. This is terrible.
Ed: Don’t you worry Wilma. Your husband is going to be alright. Don’t you worry about anything. Just think positive. Never let a doubt enter your mind.
Frank: He’s right, Wilma. But I wouldn’t wait until the last minute to fill out those organ donor cards.
Wilma: [crying]
Ed: What I’m trying to say is that Wilma, as soon as Nordburg is better, he’s welcome back at Police Squad.
Frank: Unless he’s a drooling vegetable. But I think that’s only common sense.

He was an OK leading man, but a brilliant comedian -

Heard he was 84 and a 1/3.

Superb stuff, will have to revist naked gun/airplane – there should be a public vote on which celebs get to live forever
… well no.. scratch that… they should ask me and people with similar opinions.
