James Brady-vegetable-chokes in own vomit.

Don Zimmer-old man with a plate in his head-falls asleep forever in whatever dugout he's bench coach.

Dave Niehaus-Seattle M's play by play guy-numerous organ systems give up the proverbial ghost.

Bob Huggins-drunken former basketball coach-alcohol poisoning/car wreck/heart attack, all occuring at the same time.

Former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher's short-term memory has faded to the extent that she cannot remember the start of a sentence by the end, her daughter Carol has revealed. The "Iron Lady", 80, who has suffered a series of minor strokes, can still vividly recall events in the distant past but no longer reads much because it is "pointless", Carol Thatcher said, describing her mother as "very frail".

Robert McNamara, 89 United States Secretary of Defense from 1961 to 1968.

Don Knotts, 81 actor. Best remembered as Deputy Barney Fife in the "Andy Griffith Show." Was too ill to attend an annual festival in his honor this year.

Ernest Borgnine, 88 actor. Oscar winner for "Marty." Memorable in "The Wild Bunch" "Ice Station Zebra" and "The Dirty Dozen." Best remembered for "McHale's Navy" and "The Poseidon Adventure.' Married to Tova.

John Forsythe, 87 actor. The voice of Charlie on "Charlies' Angels." Also starred as the bad judge in "And justice for all."

Earl Campbell, 50 pro-football player. What did you think the last time you saw him on TV?

edit: Abe Vigoda already picked by poptart.

Yeah, Earl is crippled up pretty bad. The last time I saw him on TV was during a half-time presentation. The game has not been good to Earl.

Yeah, ole skoal brother was the most unstoppable mutherfukker I ever saw in his prime. I remember a monday night game back when I was still on the dolphins bandwagon. Earl got about 3 miles rushing that night. He did it over, around and straight through the dolphins.

I didn't much like the buttfukkin the fish took that night, but, I was still in awe. How long did Earl play?

And what was it other than just being worn the fukk out that finished his career.

Can't believe I'm doing this (not to mention that most of the good choices have been taken). I'll go with:

Denis Leary -- comedian/actor -- lung cancer (no one can smoke that much and live long).
Zsa Zsa Gabor -- famous for being famous/sister of "Green Acres" star Eva Gabor -- natural causes/old age.
Larry Hagman -- actor, played Tony Nelson on "I Dream of Jeannie" and J.R. Ewing on "Dallas" -- natural causes/liver failure.
Phil Rizzutto -- Hall of Fame SS with NY Yankees and longtime radio/TV announcer for Yankees -- natural causes/old age.
Bobby Bowden -- FSU football coach -- heart attack on sideline when he realizes what Jeffy has done to the team.

Not that I wish any of these people dead.

Don't know if there's some board karma that might hurt the people mentioned. I'm more inclined to believe there's some boomarang karma which might affect us if we take pleasure in the misfortune of others.

Besides, I'm getting close to the point where I'm old enough to make one of these lists (assuming I was a celebrity, of course). So are you.

you are obviously not familiar with the phenomena that jake is refering to. you can put a glass of water in the nuke and heat it to well past the boiling point, but, if it is still enough it will not boil. It has something to do with surface tension, I think. Anyway, when you go to remove it from the nuke, moving it upsets the whole surface tension thing or whatever it is that is holding it back and it instantly explodes into steam.

I discovered this the hard way. Fortunately it was still in the nuke when it went off.

On another note, jerry is doing better. Looks like a bad cold, so he should hang in there till december. He's looking like a really good pic for '06. Better than richard pryor, anyway.

Goober McTuber · Post by **Goober McTuber** » Thu Dec 15, 2005 2:37 pm

From snopes.com:

Exploding water? In a nutshell, yes, water can "explode" in the fashion described above. However, it takes near perfect conditions to bring this about, thus "exploding water" is not something the average hot beverage drinker who would otherwise now be eyeing his microwave with trepidation need fear. Odds are, you'll go through life without ever viewing this phenomenon first-hand, and if you're one of the rare few who does get to see it, you will likely not be harmed by the experience (that would take your standing right over the cup at the instant it happened, and the liquid's bolting up and hitting your skin).

Doesn’t change the fact that Jake Taylor is a cretin.

I think we should have put in an extra rule that anyone who takes a former President in his/her death pool must be old enough to actually remember when that person was President. Just sayin'.

Interesting trivia note on Ford: If he hangs on until next November, he'll pass Reagan as the longest-lived President.
