That's fairly sad, but not unexpected, given the health issues she had been struggling with for years. She was a beautiful woman who I remember seeing in , "The Last Dragon". It was one of those gems you don't expect much out of, but ended up being quite fun with a lot of quotable lines.

Obviously there was a rounding error, and 2016 is the real year the Mayans said the world would end
If we're going to have apocalyptic event I just hope we end up with something similar to the Mad Max universe, in the future there is only suped up cars, mutants, Australians, S&M gear and football pads.

I'm not certain how a 40k player, an Ork 40k player, does not know of Wayne England. Or how someone living on the planet doesn't know of David Bowie.

The actor George Gaynes died on Monday, at the age of 98, his daughter confirmed.
Gaynes starred in all seven Police Academy movies and had a lead role in the 1980s sitcom Punky Brewster.
98 is a fair old innings at least.
..there were really 7 Police Academy movies ?!
Good grief.
The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

That would actually be quite a desirable situation for me.

Well, the Mayan calender didn't include leap years or the error in the modern calender that assumes Jesus was born in 0AD (when evidence suggests he was actually born in 4BC, which would set the tone right, seeing as its 4 years on from 2012 Mayan Apocalypse

“Good people are quick to help others in need, without hesitation or requiring proof the need is genuine. The wicked will believe they are fighting for good, but when others are in need they’ll be reluctant to help, withholding compassion until they see proof of that need. And yet Evil is quick to condemn, vilify and attack. For Evil, proof isn’t needed to bring harm, only hatred and a belief in the cause.”

There's a number of theories about what year Jesus was actually born, but needless to say, there is pretty much universal agreement it wasn't 1 AD (there is no 0 AD). Theories generally try to correlate his birth with historical characters mentioned in the Bible whose lives are recorded a bit more completely (Herod the Great namely), and the only range that really works is 4-7 BC, 4 generally being the one with the most support. It really shouldn't be a shock that our predecessors, especially when textual criticism wasn't yet a thing, might have been off by a few years when adjusting the calendar
Anyway, going back on topic, we clearly only have one option; We go to mount doom, and forge a magic sword. We'll need a peasant, some academic windbag, and a hot chick with a really fethed up childhood. We give them the sword and tell them to use the Delorean to travel through time and kill 2016 itself

No I get that, you said that. I just don't understand how.

You didn't know who David Bowie was until his death? What kind of media deprived rock were you living under?

Check his profile. He is in high school. Same with Iron Captain. David Bowie wasn't really relevant the last few years, not a big surprise kids 14-18 might not know about him. Rabble rabble, something about lawns.

I'm currently 18 and have been a big fan of the Duke since about 2012, though it was introduced to me by my father.
I wasn't really a Bowie fan, he was before my time, but I still appreciate his contribution to music and was sad at his passing. What made me really sad though was the tributes paid to David Zowie, because "House Every Weekend" was a "smashing summer tune."

Harper Lee, the author of To Kill A Mockingbird, has died at the age of 89.
The news was confirmed by the mayor's office in her hometown of Monroeville, Alabama.
The novelist was born Nelle Harper Lee on 28 April 1926.
In 1960, she published To Kill A Mockingbird, which was a huge critical and commercial success and won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction.
It sold more than 30 million copies worldwide.
She did not release another novel until last year, when Go Set A Watchman was published.
Lee was born 1926 in Monroeville, Alabama. She was the youngest of four children of lawyer Amasa Coleman Lee and Frances Cunningham Finch Lee.
She was a guardedly private person, respected and protected by residents of her town, rarely giving interviews.

.... call it a gut feeling, but one suspects that perhaps there's been a few more deaths here and there
