Default Bob Barker is (not) alive

He’s 98 years old. That blows my mind.

They should make him spin the big wheel. If he can’t get it to spin all the way around, euthanasia time.

Last appearance on The Price is Right almost 7 years ago. Definitely showing his age but still does a pretty good job.

One of the last celebrities who is a WWII veteran. Mel Brooks being another I think. And Dick Van Dyke and Harry Belafonte.

A quick Google found this story:

http://actionnews3.com/former-price-...r-dead-age-94/

And the site is obviously BS, but it has some gems...

NEW ZEALAND FARMER ARRESTED FOR SELLING SHEEP AS SEX SLAVES TO ISIS

MURDERER WHO CANNIBALIZED HIS 12 VICTIMS HAS “RARE EATING DISORDER”, SAYS LAWYER

Man Openly Masturbates With Pie In Walmart Bakery

OK, well that last one is probably real.
