We've had trouble with obituaries today. It all started with George Best, the soccer star who died today. My mother insisted that, in addition to his prowess on the football pitch, he was also well known as the "fifth Beatle" who had been kicked out of the band and replaced by Ringo Starr. Of course, the fifth Beatle was actually Pete Best, but she insisted that NPR had called George Best the fifth Beatle.
After we cleared up the issue with Best, my mother began insisting that Pat Morita had dies today (true) and that he was only 55 (false). As it turned out, he was 73.
