He was older than dirt when he was on "Barney Miller"

7. I suspect bin Laden is already dead
if he truly was on dialysis prior to 9/11, that isn't a harbinger of a long life to come.

We'll never know for sure if he is "dead or alive."

20. For the big finish I'm with any of the following...
In no particular order, but hedging my bets:

Elizabeth Taylor
Fidel Castro
Lindsey Lohan (an accident waiting to happen)
Cheney and/or * (just wishful thinking)

It will probably be Mickey Rooney.
