Have you ever been truly surprised to find out some public figure is still alive?

I swear, SWEAR that I not only read Alexander Haig's obituary YEARS ago, but that I saw his passing covered on all the network news shoes, along with footage of his career, etc.

Then imagine my WTF surprise when I find out he just died a couple of days ago. I KNOW I've been through all this before!

This is really weird. I feel like I've been in some parallel universe. Maybe I read too many Philip K. Dick books.

6. Yep. The other day, in fact. Judd Nelson is still with us.

I thought he had died way back in 1999.

7. I thought Ebert had died a long time ago

But I just saw a story about him. He had cancer of the mouth or throat and is unable to talk now, but he's still writing.
