==The Deads== 
 These are a list of people that weren't on the oldy list that I gave you last Christmas. All of the 2008 deaths are on this list, most of which you probably know about. I was also comparing your "Noted Centenarianists" list to mine and I found numerous people that were absent from your list, either because you're going senile and forgot to add them, or, you're just dumb! Either way you probably have your reasons, so without any further adieu, here they are.
