Looks like Scott Adams isn't going to last much longer, stage 4 prostate cancer, no feeling below the waist plus heart failure.

Although he did say a staggeringly stupid thing a couple of years ago, he's a very clever and funny guy.

It was a joke, he couldn’t actually predict the future… smile

Christopher Hitchens said:
I know that Pythagoras refuted astrology by the simple means of pointing out that identical twins do not have the same future, I further know that the zodiac was drawn up long before several of the planets in our solar system had been detected, and of course I understand that I could not be "shown" my immediate or long-term future without this disclosure altering the outcome. Thousands of people consult their "stars" in the newspapers every day, and then have unpredicted heart attacks or traffic accidents. (An astrologer of a London tabloid was once fired by means of a letter from his editor which began, "As you will no doubt have foreseen.") In his Minima Moralia, Theodor Adorno identified the interest in stargazing as the consummation of feeble-mindedness.

Surely your daughters dying would be your biggest nightmare?

He got an obit in the Telegraph. I am not a horse type and even I've heard of him.

Whilst I appreciate it's not Bernie Ecclestone hit by falling piano, it's noteworthy.

One of the first fails on this thread each year is somebody deciding who is "noteworthy" or not. It didn't take long.

Just because you may not of heard of somebody does not mean they are not recognised by others. Do not use your own ignorance as a yardstick to decide who should be remembered ot not.

Likewise no Interesr in horse racing and even I've heard of him

Lots of wins and I think used to train the Queen's race horses

The irony. Mention of ignorance of others in a 2 line paragraph that includes “ may not OF heard…”
