  • inactive, on 06/29/2009, -1/+1It goes to show you, running and living healthy just isn't good for you.
  • Haberdasher, on 06/29/2009, -1/+1Jackson and Billy Mays both died at 50.
  • stuffradio, on 06/29/2009, -1/+1I take back my comment, I thought I remembered reading somewhere that he was 53. I deplore y'all to bury me to oblivion!
  • Ntieoen, on 06/29/2009, -1/+1However if Dave Coulier or Nick Carter dies, don't worry about anyone mourning them.
  • olebra1393, on 06/29/2009, -7/+3IT ALL ADDS UP! Michael Jackson died at 50. Billy Mays died at 50. Add them together and you get 100.
  • inactive, on 06/29/2009, -6/+2Hmm...Seems like you're the one who doesn't know about 1930s Germany...
  • stuffradio, on 06/29/2009, -7/+1Except Jackson died at 53? Me thinks your math is wrong.
