i don't see dead people

So, um, Mickey Spillane just died. I'm going to go ahead and add him to the growing pile of recently-deceased people I thought were already dead. Joining Spillane on this list are Red Buttons, Shelley Winters, Nipsey Russell, Lou Rawls and Al "Grandpa Munster" Lewis. I totally gasped at the news of each and every one of their demises, partly out of sadness but mostly because I thought they had already bought it. But they were still alive and kicking all that time. Who knew?

I have GOT to start reading the obit page a bit more closely. No chance of me ever winning The Dead Pool, now is there?
