Seeing conflicting reports on twitter, but had a similar thing when Carrie Fisher passed away, so can't say anything for certain. He looked fairly well at the Superbowl the other day, but anything can happen in a short time.

Story seems to have originated on a fake website:

Sadly this does happen from time to time, social media...well, twitter at least, is usually pretty good at sifting out the fake from the accurate. When it's accurate it tends to blossom fairly quickly and gets to trending quite rapidly, and then sites like the BBC and such pick it up and then tweet it on the Breaking News account, and then it gets to their website at around the same time.

Seems your source is unreliable. You should be ashamed to post something like this without verification.
Shame on You. :mad:

Shame? Really? This is an internet forum not the AP wire. He just said he heard it, he didn't say it was fact.

so is that an alt-fact? :ping:

No, the true fact is that he heard. The alt-fact is that GHW Bush had died. To believe Heisenberg, until we open the box to determine the true fact, GHW Bush is both alive and dead. Or neither. Or something like that......:haha:

I think we should ask Rumsfeld, he's an expert in the uncertainty principle. :yep:

All you have to do is do a google search for George HW Bush and you will find that he is still alive fighting the enemy is Syria:http://pilotonline.com/news/military/uss-george-h-w-bush-begins-striking-islamic-state/article_9592c7d4-066e-5211-98f6-fa13913d2806.html

The USS George H.W. Bush Carrier Strike Group began its assault on the Islamic State group in support of Operation Inherent Resolve from the eastern Mediterranean Sea on Monday, the Navy said in a news release.

That's an odd name for a cat...

The story is that when Heisenburg came up with the Heisenburg Uncertainty Principal, that it was impossible to know the position of an electron orbiting the nucleus of an atom at the same time you know its speed and valence level, Schrodinger came up with his cat in a box analogy as a way to poke fun at Heisenburg's principle.

Egghead humor, however, is replete with ambiguity and possible seriousness......:D

Too many people forget that Schrodinger came up with his "paradox" as a joke.

Not at all, and after a few days in the sun it won't take opening the box to discover the cat's true status.
