They can sit down & watch "Midway" together. It'll be sweet.

Formally Japan's oldest person fulfills her life's dream to meet Charlton Heston

FTFY

Formerly Japan's oldest person fulfills her life's dream to meet Charlton Heston

FTFMe.

/doh

eqtworld: Nope, that's the kind of thing you have to do while both you and the other person are alive. That's how meeting someone works.

Of course if you believe in supernatural post postmortem existence you think people can meet each other after their bodies have decayed and their brain is gone. But that makes no sense

I still think it was a funny headline ;)

SpinStopper: I still think it was a funny headline ;)

Me too. +1

Brilliant headline.

I lol'd, then my girlfriend asked what was so funny, so I pointed out the headline and she lol'd too.

Nice....+1 for you

FTFA:Edna Parker of Shelbyville, Indiana, is recognized as the world's oldest person at age 114, according to Guinness World Records. She was born on April 20, 1893.

i was expecting 'damned' and 'apes' in the headline.
i'm not sure why.

/did not submit with a better headline.

The real shame is that now Heston is dead, he is really dead.

There is no just reward for such an actor.

There is no heaven for him to go to, no hell for Hitler.

Just the oblivion of eternal death.

/So long Moses.
//You really were pretty damned good on film
///Sigh, Oceans 12 is on tonight, isn't it.....

Guns & Moses, dead at the senseless age of 84.....

I read this headline before I read the one about Heston, so I was puzzled by the 'Sad' tag.

But now I see it was an excellent move, subby. +1

After looking at the pic in the article, I fear for what this thread holds.

Mr. Heston is still my President.

/still smarter than the current one, BTW

Jeez, I don't ever want to be that old... Guess I better start drinking and partying hard.

slave2grind: After looking at the pic in the article, I fear for what this thread holds.

I'm waiting for the very NSFW Photoshop as well.
Not gonna bite.
/and neither will she!

Subby and Bathia_Mapes can pool thier money and get me a new keyboard.

+2 total

/I'll take a Logitech G-15

Wow, Roger Moore is gone and now this. He will be missed.

He had a dream too.

I bet she gave great head hugs.

Pretty much what I came here to say.

Was it this guy?

Wow, Roger Moore is gone and now this

Whoa, did I miss something. I'm finding a lot of past tense, but nothing specifically about his death.

caledonian: Wow, Roger Moore is gone and now this

Whoa, did I miss something. I'm finding a lot of past tense, but nothing specifically about his death.

According to this as of March 13th he was working on his auto biography...if he's dead then it must be a really short one.

Japan has one of the world's longest average life spans - a factor often attributed to a healthy diet rich in fish and rice. In 2006 Japanese women set a new record for life expectancy at 85.81 years, while men live an average of about 79 years.



I fail to see how this is any longer than the US or any other country.

Heh, Roger Moore is the new Abe Vigoda?

+1 subby. Not laughing at death, they were 84 & 100+. They had long lives

danar75 - apparently so, hook, line, and sinker for me I think

so... does this mean we can take his guns now?

/from his hands
//cold, dead ones

I wonder if anyone has gotten his gun away from him yet, or if he's still holding on to it.

There's a thread that went green about midnight with around 600 of those comments if you're really interested...

You know who else was born on April 20?

Try to learn how to use the internets.

About 4 years longer than the USA.

Those are averages, not examples of individual cases. For the US the years for both sexes is less by 5 years or so. You fail statistics.

the more you know

Japan hasused to have one of the world's longest average life spans

FTFY.

Meanwhile, American life span could actually be dropping due to the recent increase in lard among the general population.

eqtworld: The longest unambiguously documented lifespan is that of Jeanne Calment of France (1875-1997), who was 122 years and 164 days.

She knew Van Gogh!!!! :D

When can we pick up the shotgun?

Ned the Wookie: Wow, Roger Moore is gone and now this. He will be missed.

You damned walking carpet, stop spreading lies!

Wow, the boobies. That's got to be a personal best for you! You know, Bevets gets all the glory, but for my money, you're Fark's #1 evangelist threadjacker. And you don't even need to be summoned!

/pre-filtered myself

Bito: so... does this mean we can take his guns now?

/from his hands

Had to be said...it was the way he wanted it. Troll or not, QFT.

danar75: Heh, Roger Moore is the new Abe Vigoda?

Ace Frehley is dead?

/We'll miss you Ace

CrackedEgg: Ned the Wookie: Wow, Roger Moore is gone and now this. He will be missed.

You damned walking carpet, stop spreading lies!

And at least learn how to spell Wookiee

But didn't Charlton Heston just... OHHHH.

Japan has one of the world's longest average life spans - a factor often attributed to a healthy diet rich in fish and rice.

But... but... life span has everything to do with the quality of medical care available to you and nothing to do with genetics or life style! Just ask Paul Krugman or anyone else advocating socialized medicine.

B-b-b-b-b-but Noah!

Moore is alive. Someone is pulling a LONG April Fools on you (and it's not looking good for you since you obviously haven't bothered to google it).
