A 110 year old dying was a long shot?  Who else was on his list?  A bunch of dead people?

You're probably right.  I was blinded by my impulse to make fun of Yeti to properly read the green font.  My bad.

I'm sure there's a Forkjoke involving "green" that I'm just too tired to make.

I do admire Yeti's willingness to go from 16 yr old girls to 110 yr old guys.

Wow.  The Western Front in 1917-18 and a Japanese POW Camp in 1942-45?
