That one hurts. Loved him in every role he's been in. From what I'm reading, he seemed like a wonderful man who everyone loved. RIP Broyles

Gordon Moore, the Intel Corp. co-founder who set the breakneck pace of progress in the digital age with a simple 1965 prediction of how quickly engineers would boost the capacity of computer chips, has died. He was 94.
Don't know much about him but seems to be a pretty good guy

Quote:
Moore later became known for his philanthropy when he and his wife established the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, which focuses on environmental conservation, science, patient care and projects in the San Francisco Bay area. It has donated more than $5.1 billion to charitable causes since its founding in 2000.

Jerry Springer died. Best known (in my circles) as being a former partner of my old firm prior to running for Cincy mayor.

The history class in the 22nd century on the "Fall of the American Empire" will definitely have units devoted to Donald Trump and Facebook but Jerry Springer will certainly be in that textbook somewhere.

There was a moment there in the 90's when he was one of the biggest stars in America.

Didn't realize he was born in a London bomb shelter during WW2 after his parents escaped from Poland and much of his family was wiped out in concentration camps.

Will his children all have to take televised paternity tests to determine if they're in the will? And slug it out with chairs when something unexpected happens?

Canadian folk singer Gordon Lightfoot dies at 84

When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayin'
"Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya"
At seven PM, a main hatchway caved in, he said
"Fellas, it's been good to know ya"

His daughter announced this morning that the cause of death was suicide. Sad to hear.

I mean, it appears legit... or Jerry got one last laugh from the grave with the ultimate troll job for his last JS Show. Rex Chapman posted what appears to be the full video as the kids watched it in real time.

This can't be real...!

Took some digging but it appears to be from a "virtual play" he did some time back. The tip off is that he only had one child (not three others) and she doesn't seem to be any of the non-recipient trio shown in this video.

Thought Doyle Brunson cashing in his chips would have got a mention.

There was a time where poker was a big topic round these parts.
