Forrest J. Ackerman - NOT DEAD YET!!!

[patgund]

In an update to my previous (and now corrected post), Forrest J. Ackerman is not dead after all.

"News last night of the death of Forrest J Ackerman was apparently premature, and Locus Online apologizes for the erroneous post. "

WTF? Figures, 4SJ would find a way to come back from the GRAVE!

I blame the lack of caffeine...

DEAD PERSON: I'm not dead!
MORTICIAN: Here -- he says he's not dead!
CUSTOMER: Yes, he is.
DEAD PERSON: I'm not!
MORTICIAN: He isn't.
CUSTOMER: Well, he will be soon, he's very ill.
DEAD PERSON: I'm getting better!
CUSTOMER: No, you're not -- you'll be stone dead in a moment.

Yeah, that's what the history said on Wikipedia for his entry... as in they need a reliable source that says so.

I was sad for a bit there. But the reality is, sometime in the next decade or two he will pass away... Just not yet. :)

Probably more like days, but on the other hand, he might just hang on to spite everybody. He's spunky like that.

The LASFS website is posting the latest, from his actual friends and caregivers.

If there's a Sci Fi Heaven, you know they got a helluva con party going on. Live Dog Party?

Dead People Server has him listed as "Not Dead Yet."

There have been enough deaths of prominent persons that I'll miss lately that I'm happy to hear this one is a false alarm! :-)
