Don't forget Abe Vigoda!

Well, that is one of the fields the requester has to fill out for Google: Date/Time of Death

That way, it can be automated instead of forcing them to have a site to tell their status:

Ala Abe Vigoda

Is there an API for checking if the user is alive?

Is the user is
Abe Vigoda, there is a ready-made internet-friendly way to check if Abe is still alive. Check the website at the following URL:

http://www.abevigoda.com/

There is also a firefox extension that specifically checks for this result.

And Abe Vigoda is still alive.

Hmmm...how about something www.capistranoswallows.com running on a raspberry pi to present a webpage like http://www.abevigoda.com/

But Abe Vigoda is alive.

I just checked a quick app on my iphone and it said you were still alive.

Damn. They should get one of these for Abe Vigoda.

Well at least I know that Abe Vigoda is still alive.

Not dead.

Abe is now sleeping with the fishes.

Not according to the official page:

Would be to do what Abe Vigoda has done ... set up a website with your current status on it. When he finally dies, everyone will know,... and unfortunately the server will probably be slashdotted and die a horrible death within about six hours of Vigoda's actual death,... ;-)

You are confusing Ricardo Montalban with Abe Vigoda.

Abe Vigoda has one,why not the mars rovers?

We need a site like this:

http://www.abevigoda.com/ffb.php

for Steve Jobs... you know just to be sure.

Maybe we should have a Charles Babbage status page a bit like this one:
Abe Vigoda

this story is proof of that.

Newspapers used to do the same thing for Abe Vigoda announcing that he was dead too.

Sindbad the comedian ought to play Sindbad the sailor in an action adventure movie with some comedy in it.

Maybe Sinbad needs a website like this one for Abe Vigoda.

Shhh! Don't give Stephen Colbert any ideas!!!!!! /In other news, Abe Vigoda's still kickin'!

I can't live without the Abe Vigoda Status extension (FYI -- he's alive as of 8:30am US Eastern Time).

Its only a matter of time before Google hires Chuck Norris to simply roundhouse kick all of their enemies.

Ehh, Chow Yun Fat is much, much cooler.

Then I'm Abe Vigoda!

fark and firefox are killin' me

will be back in a day or so. abe's still alive, by the way (2/15/05 12:13:52 pm PT)

PS: The last remark was not deliberately written in order to influence moderators.

...things like this feel "too little too late" -- I mean sure, its great to memorialize him now. But wouldn't it have been better to do this while he was alive?

I look forward to your upcoming Abe Vigoda tribute.

A tribute is a tribute. There's plenty of things in this world to second-guess, but not stuff like this. If it makes people feel better about the loss of someone that meant something to them, let it be.

I agree, enough of the ____ is dead articles!

I propose a list of things that are alive and well, beginning with:

- Internet Censorship
- Ohio History!
- Abe Vigoda

Mr. Fish's real handle can be found here.

I have no opinion on whether Abe's a mumified, Italian badass, but he's no murder victim, since he's not dead yet.
