Well known people who died recently

John Cornell has died. He was Paul Hogans manager and a very astute businessman.

Found a very interesting story about him in 1986. He was already a very wealthy man but he was just about to launch Crocodile Dundee.
He and Paul Hogan were the main financiers of the film and they owned the rights. Before it's premiere John predicted it would be the most successful Aussie movie of all time and with his and Paul ownership they would make a mint. (didn't quite say that but they knew.)

Steven Weinberg

Steven Weinberg is a Noble Prize-winning American physicist and a prolific writer. He completed his Ph.D. from the reputed Princeton University and went on to become a researcher at the Columbia University. He researched on various topics like quantum field theory and scattering theory while developing his interest in astrophysics. He further published his research papers on neutrinos and even published a couple of books titled ‘The Quantum Theory of Fields’ and ‘Gravitation and Cosmology’. These works are considered to be one of the most influential books in their subjects. He further served as a professor at various reputed universities including MIT and Harvard. During his tenure at MIT, he worked on broken symmetries, current algebra, and renormalization theory. This was followed by his theory of strong interactions known as ‘quantum chromodynamics’ which turned out to be one of his most notable works. He further did significant work in the field of physics and was appointed as the chairman of the ‘Jack S. Josey-Welch Foundation Regents’. Apart from the ‘Noble Prize’, he was honored with the ‘Benjamin Franklin Medal for Distinguished Achievement in the Sciences’.



Some of his most notable quotes:

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

All logical arguments can be defeated by the simple refusal to reason logically

Science doesn't make it impossible to believe in God, it just makes it possible not to believe in God

My son showed me this, gets huge number of views. Some of them are quite famous.

Herman Cain Award
to remember the deaths of those who post anti mask, covid hoax, anti vaxer anti government type memes, pro experimental drugs and then die from Covid.

What is particularly interesting is how many beg for crowd funding as they rack up huge debts before dying. They don't believe in free healthcare, act like idiots and catch it and then leave their families in debt.

I think I know someone who would qualify.

Gee they don't hold back
 
Vale John Elliot.
He came to the Beer and Beef club some years ago and I heard him speak.

Intelligent, very charismatic, very politically incorrect, funny.
A force of nature. Pigs Ass!

Pushed out the Foster's brand worldwide and got Carlton a Premiership.

Not everything he did worked but someone I would have liked to be more like.
 
Gentile’s lawyer, Ryan McGuigan, broke the news that he had died in Hartford Hospital on Friday.
Thirteen pieces of valuable art were stolen, including works by Rembrandt, Vermeer and Degas, during the museum heist 30 years ago. Robbers were disguised as police officers who responded to a “disturbance call” linked to Saint Patrick’s Day, but once they were allowed inside announced: “Gentlemen, this is a robbery”.

Before the anti-vaxxers claim that this is proof that vaccines do not work....

...Which is why it's CRUCIAL that everyone get vaccinated—to protect the vulnerable who may be around them!

Being "vAcCInAtEd", wouldn't have stopped transmission of the virus to Mr Powell. therefore the vaccination status of people around him would have been totally irrelevant.

Indeed, his own vaccination status turned out to be totally irrelevant also.

Interestingly his, age is greater than both the average age of death and the average age of death with cOvId.

I am not sure how this turned into a Vaccs rant but I would have thought that all those around him would have been vaccinated.

Which would confirm that even if vaccinated we can still be infectious, as was shown in research.
