Alexander the Great. Just out of curiosity, what's the list for? Edit: checked wiki.

(neutral) -jinx-
Waiting to die

[Tim-E]

too bad you don't have 27, that'd be easy-peasy

I was thinking the same thing.

[LakeEarth]

Wrestler Chris Candito. I forgot he was even dead.

[Cyan]

Bill Hicks
Lester Bangs
John Bonham (Led Zepp)

[soul creator]

Jesus Christ (exact age at death uncertain) Judean founder of Christianity crucifixion ca. AD 30

Does that mean Christ was born roughly 3 years before Christ?

omg time paradox

[KimiNewt]

This sort of thread should be annual.

[FnordChan]

Damn it, I'm about to turn 33 and someone named "jinx" is asking about people who died at that age. If you'll excuse me, I have to go perform experiments involving skin grafts and four leaf clovers.

FnordChan

[Cyan]

Ah, jinx is turning 33, huh?

[8bit]

Logafs Run.

[S. L.]

Ah, jinx is turning 33, huh?

and planning suicide?

[Hitokage]

Ramanujan was almost 33.

That doesn't sound ambitious enough to me. I ascend up the double-three ladder of death in mere months as well, so I plan on drinking equal parts of the hair-care products of the John Edwardses -- both the baby-kissing candidate AND the ballroom-dancing psychic -- blended well with Scotch whisky served cold from Geronimo's skull or Lord Stanley's Cup, whichever I can get my wrinkled and slowly degenerating talons on easiest.

[Lo-Volt]

What is it with this topic and the OP's tag? Is this meant in jest or should I add two and two together?

[JoshuaJSlone]

This is going to be the best birthday card ever.

For others wishing to weird out people on their birthday, I have had success by saying someone has reached, say, 1.325 billion seconds.

That's a good start. John Edwards works a few minutes away from me at the Institute of Government, so I should go ambush him in his office and demand the secret of his longevity; I imagine it has something to do with the Order of Ghimghoul. Meanwhile, I suppose the Stanley Cup (or, at least, one of 'em) is over in Raleigh, so that makes for a convienent bit of B&E.

You're helping James Cameron to debunk Jesus's ressurection, aren't you?

[Beaulieu]

John Belushi

he said other than jesus

Ohhh, someone else is turning 33 and jinx wants to rub it in. Gotcha.

[Dilbert]

Ah, jinx is turning 33, huh?

Cyan wins.

As it turns out, this has nothing to do with my avatar or tag. I had switched to the "danger - radiation" logo and changed the tag to go with it...but maybe I should change to something else now.

[White Man]

I thought there was a 3-5 year curve on Big J's age? You should've committed suicide as early as 28, -jinx-.

[FnordChan]

White Man, I have a modest suggestion for your new avatar:

[elektrotal]

Adi Shankaracharya, one of the main sages of Hinduism.

[Boogie]

uh, happy birthday, then? :)

my birthday was yesterday

[tnw]

today being 3/1 were I am....

[Vormund]

too bad you don't have 27, that'd be easy-peasy

Err what's with dying at 27 then?

I turn 27 this month :o at least I'm not famous though

[FnordChan]

If they ask you to join the club, politely decline and walk away slowly. Do not turn your back on them under any circumstances.

[Smiles and Cries]

I'm 33... **** this thread :(

[perryfarrell]

I disapprove of this thread. Whole-heartedly.

[WrathOfOtaibah]

Alexander the Great I believe died at 33.

Pretty young considering what he did.

[Donono]

Pretty young considering what he did.

You mean conquer the known world and travel to distant lands with strange diseases? Yeah that doesn't sound dangerous.

[WrathOfOtaibah]

You mean conquer the known world and travel to distant lands with strange diseases? Yeah that doesn't sound dangerous.

Yep, I doubt you could do that by the time you are 33.

[Rorschach]

He's writing a sequel to The Number 23. Better thank GAF in the credits!

[norinrad21]

Interesting list

[grandjedi6]

Should we start compiling a list of people who died at age 34 now?

[Souldriver]

Cyan wins. As it turns out, this has nothing to do with my avatar or tag. I had switched to the "danger - radiation" logo and changed the tag to go with it...but maybe I should change to something else now.

You have an avatar? :O


(I don't see it)

[DarkJediKnight]

When I turned 27 last year, I was extremely careful all year not to do anything stupid.

[ElectricBlue187]

You have an avatar? :O (I don't see it)

you have avatars turned off or this thread is a year old and he's changed it already

[Ketchup Boy]

Bruce Lee



nvm, he died at 32

[reilo]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/27_Club

Club 27 is much more interesting.

[Souldriver]

you have avatars turned off or this thread is a year old and he's changed it already

I don't have avatars turned off, so it must be the second option. BUMPING IS A BANNABLE OFFENCE!



;)

[Anasui Kishibe]

at this rate I could join that club fo sho
