New York, NY: For years, reports of his death proved to be premature, over and over again. A website was erected in order to tell the world of his true status. His name is a running gag, so much so that this article may have jumped the shark a few years ago.
Now, celebrations have begun as the perennial old man, Abe Vigoda, turned 91 years old today, beating out another group of celebrities in death pools worldwide.
While Mr. Vigoda continues to be counted in the Big 3 of death pools (along with Dick Clark and Betty White), many have passed that seemed to have better odds, including:
1 ) Gary Carter
2 ) Whitney Houston
3 ) Amy Winehouse
4 ) Kim Jong-il
5 ) Patrice O’Neal
6 ) Joe Frazier
7 ) Andy Rooney
8 ) Al Davis
9 ) Steve Jobs
10 ) Ryan Dunn
11 ) “Macho Man” Randy Savage
12 ) Bill Hinzman
The fact that Abe Vigoda is still alive is believed to be a sign that the End of Days, marked by the Mayan calendar for this year, will not happen, as the final sign for the end of the world is supposedly marked by the death of an elderly man that has risen from the grave, over and over again.
