    Not until Obama proves he's an American with a birth certificate!

    There you have it. Trying to read the handwriting, it looks like the cause of death was (in order of onset):

    5 months - primary bronchogenic carcinoma
    4 months - metastic carcinoma
    48 hours - renal failure

    I am not sure if that one word is exactly "bronchogenic." Anyway, sounds like the primary was lung cancer.

    I sure hope I go peacefully and not because of cancer. Cancer scares the crap out of me.

    Kaufman is on a long list of dead celebrities who became a lot more famous when they died and probably would be barely remembered if they had lived.

    To answer the subject - uh, no.

    Yeah, it was a fun ruse.

    She obviously studied him to come up with similar mannerisms and such.

    Dead celebs who aren't dead?

    Plug for my friend's comic: The Comeback Kings.

    Obviously you haven't seen the YouTube video that explains - in detail - what's wrong with that forged document.

    My response is, "So?"

    I say that because I remember him from when I was a kid, and I didn't think he was funny. I would have been 10-12 just before he "died," and 10-12 year old boys think anything is funny. I remember him being a douche.
