Wow.

Could someone email this to my parents, please. It would be too obvious if I did.

I'm suprised Charles Shultz is still there, I'm suprised Dr Seus is there at all, Yves Saint Laurent was a brand name beofre his death, so I'm not suprised at that.

Jimi Herinrix father is still in court with his grandson.

Refuses to acknoledgle him even though DNA tests proved he is Jimis son.

Reason: Mother is a white Swedish woman.

Herinrix? Who was he? A famous viola player, or something?

Herinix Himmler the famous Nazi war criminal. Left millions in Switzerland.

His heirs want the money but don't want to admit they're related to him.

Well done my son!

As a mate of mine says "What's the point of being the richest man in the cemetry. Spend it while you can because there is a good reason why there are no pockets in shrouds".

Anyway, that's one list I'm really glad that I'm not on.
