A family member put on a game show that included Brian Blessed and I commented it 'must be old as he's been dead for a while'?

Nope. 88 and going strong.

Who else has surprised you?

Somewhat related: there's a classic electro clash song Frank Sinatra by Miss Kittin & The Hacker that came out in 1998, with cynical/funny lyrics:

We talk about Frank Sinatra "You know Frank Sinatra?" He's dead! Dead Hahahahaha.

Except he wasn't dead yet, unbeknownst to the band, for another three months.

I know this isn't exactly what this is for as this person is dead, but i was certain harold reimis (egon from ghostbusters) died in the early 90s but it turned out he died in 2014. I had it in my head that they didnt make a ghostbusters 3 back in the 90s because he had died.

I don't even remember why now, but just a couple days ago I looked up how long ago Harris Yulin died...still alive.
