But I wonder who are the weirdos who rush to Wikipedia to update peoples profiles to say they are dead.
I think they take pride in being the first to do it. As you say, weirdos.
I'm going to admit something slightly shameful. After I saw the headline 'Plane crashes in Colombia carrying Brazilian football team', it was something of an anticlimax to realise it was just A Brazilian football team rather than THE Brazilian football team and I sort of lost interest. :-(
Reminds me of Frank Skinner talking about when all his American friends started calling him after they heard about the 7/7 London attacks. and how embarrassed he was to admit that fewer than 100 people had died, given that the recent American equivalent had been 3,000.

I've no reason to think he's not, since all pretending would achieve would be to make him look silly. And he has form in this department.
The fact that the article is still up may simply be because taking it down would be an admission that they've been hoaxed - something they don't want to acknowledge if they don't have to.
So all in all, I believe him. Mind you, that may just be confirmation bias on my part.
Gosh, well thank you for your considered opinion on what having cancer is like. I shall bear it in mind in future.
I'm not sure I would describe an orchidectomy, chemotherapy and two years of hospital appointments, check-ups, blood tests and the constant terror of recurrence (resulting, of course, in that pesky 'limited side effect' death) as 'easily treated', but I'm sure you know best.
I've always been thankful that, as these things go, I had a relatively light brush from the cancer stick, but now I've read your wise words, I realise that I was really just being silly to make such a fuss.
I never have a flu jab and haven't had proper flu since I was a kid. My wife always gets it and then spends at least two days off sick in the following week. Anecdotal, of course, but there we are. :shrug:
You gonna stick with the non-smoking? You've basically done the hard bit, so you might as well.
