RIP
Jerry Lee Lewis

(I was thinking about him a couple days ago..)
He was reported dead a week ago. Prematurely.
Thank you! I was sure I had read that, and was starting to doubt my memory.

RIP Bill   (supposedly died by the grass mover falling over him, well hospital messed him up)

great shape at above 90, vegetarian. He had not invested in a roll bar.

my light grass mover is 300kg (excluding my robots), I installed roll bar on mine now, it felt over me once, but I was able to get out, well ready for next summer.

At 90 my plan is to have all robotised, will then only sit on terrace drink martinis and watch the robots (could be many excellent robots by then, some hopefully even cute)

OK - having spent a little time researching this, I will add some breadcrumbs to the trail. This appears to be a reference to the death of legendary bodybuilder Bill Pearl, which took place three months ago. He did have an altercation with his lawn mower (it is not technically wrong to call it a grass mover, since it does move grass, but it is unconventional), but the exact cause of his death is not 100% clear. A bacterial infection acquired in the hospital is a candidate, but so is complications from Parkinson’s (according to his wife).

yes off course the Mr Universe vegetarian, I read his thick book many years ago. When someone say Bill, my friends would naturally think of this guy.

 I am mostly same type vegetarian these days, as I now grow veggies on farm plus I also have free range chickens (mostly inside when snowing, but they learn they can fly when deep snow). Have to eat lots of eggs and talk to them every day, treat your hens nice and you get much better eggs! You are what they eat and what you tell them! They have very different individualities just like people, very emotional, and it reflects in the eggs how u treat them.

"A bacterial infection acquired in the hospital " try to avoid hospitals, but unfortunately a few times we have no choice...

" but it is unconventional" dont be to conventional man!
