For those who don't know, Billy Mays was an American salesperson who advertised products such as OxiClean, Orange Glo, Kaboom, Mighty Putty, Zorbeez, iCan Insurance and the Hercules Hooks. More recently, he's been shown on the Discovery Channel series Pitchmen. Videos of his pitches are a substantial source of parody on YouTube.

Who knows?  :confused: Could be anything. It's possible it was chance but that would be a one in a million chance. Maybe aliens caused it or some government conspiracy to get the public's attention, but probably not.

I disagree. Tons of people die every day, including famous people. Now, if all the US Sentors died in a week, THAT would be suspicious. But as there's no real link between MJ, BM, FF, and whoever else... just, yeah, no. Especially seeing as MJ and FF were in poor health of late anyway...

Chill with the conspiracies, goodness gracious. You're gonna wear yourself out.

That was funny and a good one. I wonder where you got those dino pics from.
That's Philosoraptor.

Dude, thousands (millions?) of people die every day, there are good odds that these people would die now, within the same week.

I dunno about millions, if a million people died everyday, we'd be extinct in 16 and one half year.(about)

Aren't these the old statistics?

Someone is born every 3 seconds.
Someone dies every 8 seconds.

That would mean that 18,000 people are added on to the world population every freakin day!
(28,800 really) but 10,800 of the original the day before die that day.

So, that's about 6,570,000 every year. Not too bad...

BUT, if you count in the octomom, you can just add another 10,000 to that sum.
