    Detective John McClane killed Hans Gruber a while ago by kicking him out of a window in the Nakatomi Plaza during a Christmas party. Followed up by the words "Yippee-ki-yay mother $%^&*&".

    RIP Hans.....brother of Simon

    Is it just my imagination, or do more people seem to die around Christmas and New Year's Day (plus or minus 30 days or so) than you would expect?

    Anybody know any statistics about this?

    I don't know about the statistics but I remember a period in the early '80s where a lot of well known individuals were dropping like flies around this time!

    RIP! Severus. My daughter, once more, passed this information to me!

    I know, 69 seems so young. I do not want to be retired for only 4 years and bite the bullet. That just seems so unfair.

    Bottle Shock was the movie. I loved it. It was about Chateau Montelena and also starred Chris Pine and Eliza Dushku snuck in there with a small role. Rickman, as always, was great in it.
