*sigh* End of several ages there.
The only consolation I suppose is that every one of the above lived very long and full lives. RIP all of you. You've more than earned it.

I was expecting that, ever since I heard about the surgery.
Still, no more Virgin Alarm. A loss. My Unitarian Jihad Name is: Brother Atom Bomb of Courteous Debate. Get yours. I've been writing a bit.

Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of the same sovereign, servants of the same law." - Michael Ignatieff, addressing Stanford University in 2012 Quote:robkelk wrote:It's been a long time since I've watched an episode of that show, but I thought that was the other extremely tall, kind of creepy character of the time, Ted Cassidy (aka Lurch from "The Addams Family"). If you watch "Happy Gilmore," you can see that Kiel was suffering from hip and back problems, which is reportedly common with people who have gigantism (and tall people in general, if my knees and hip are any indication). Even Robert Maillet (the giant from "Sherlock Holmes") and Dalip Singh (from "Get Smart") clearly have problems, and they're relatively young men. The fact that Kiel lived as long as he did, and was still working and still, from what I've heard, a genuinely nice man, is a testament both to medical science and the strength of his character.
