    Mel Brooks has passed the age of 100

    I feel like this could be right up his ally for humor. Someone gets sad and the person reading the paper (specifically not the obits) is confused. "They've passed the age. They're 101 now."

    I read it wrong. I added an "at" in there. He content isnt available in the UK because its imgr or something so i had to google it and he is fine. I felt much better. You need a slap.

    Ironically, I had to use Imgur because Lemmy.world disallows posting and uploads via the VPN that I utilize, and direct upload chokes due to some stupid shit the regulator and providers around here are pulling.

    The way things in the Europes and the US are going, in a few years most Western VPNs will be of no avail for accessing the sites I want. We'll both have to VPN through Mexico or somesuch.

    Incorrect. He just started being 100. He is not going to pass that age until next year.

    -Mel Brooks, after reading a birthday card where the sender just used the preprinted greeting and only wrote her name in.

    Goddammit OP, fix your wording. I was really upset about his passing for a solid five minutes before I read another comment clarifying your post.
