A few unconfirmed reports on Twitter that she has died
Hope it's wrong, I thought she was on the road to recovery.

This time next year there will be another batch. Some bigger names than normal this year perhaps. Philthy Animal and Lemmy started the death party. RIP Carrie Fisher. |

laughed my socks off in Biology class at 15, at the situation between princess leia and luke skywalker. couldn't stop laughing and the biology teacher told me to stop laughing. It made it worse and Could not stop for about five minutes. The teacher threatened me with the strap. Really liked the three original movies till George started to tinker with the remastering and sequels.
Very good in the BURBS and Harry met Sally. |

It's irrelevant Facts, the calendar year....
You can have a year from any date by the way. In a year from now etc..... |

By:
Yep. But best to make it from Jan 1. It keeps things simple.

Lemmy died close to this spot last time. Sorry i've complicated it. |
|
By:
never heard of her
|

By:
I suppose Princess Leia is a hugely iconic character, but there seems to be a huge outpouring of (media) grief,
yet her film career is a few bit-parts in about 4-5 famous films. |

By:
Lemmy was always the one. Thought that guy was immortal. Seems to have been a domino effect ever since he left us.

Quick Google shows she's on screen for a dozen minutes in Star Wars

“I found myself thinking about President William McKinley, the third American president to be assassinated. He lived for several days after he was shot, and towards the end, his wife started crying and screaming, "I want to go too! I want to go too!" And with his last measure of strength, McKinley turned to her and spoke his last words: "We are all going.”

“When you're dead, they really fix you up. I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetery. People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday, and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you're dead? Nobody.”

“We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred?”

Im afraid Dawkins got this one wrong imo.
Like Nietzsche said; 'to live is to suffer'. You are born into bondage and have the impending doom of guaranteed death, not to mention the dilemma given to us all of attempting to fathom the whole thing out. Those who were not born do not have any of this, and nobody alive who is conscious of life complains of the time they spent before birth. Genius derives from ordinary parents, its not an ever improving lot over generations, so no matter who lives or doesnt live the end result will inevitably be the answering of the unknown and the solving of the problem (and the waste of the vast majority who were pointless). |

“Sleep would be so welcome. A warm blanket of black to erase everything else. Sleep without dreams. I've heard people talk about the sleep of the dead. Is that what death would feel like? The nicest, warmest, heaviest never-ending nap? If that's what it's like, I wouldn't mind. If that's what dying is like, I wouldn't mind that at all.”
― Gayle Forman, If I Stay |
