George Wendt is definetly dead. I have no idea why he has so much recent work listed in IMDB. It is creepy.

What about the case of my memories of MT ST Helens? It happened in MArch 1983 yet I came back to verify that and the date had changed. Did the media change the date of the eruption?

No I was 8 years old when that happened not 5! How can a 5 year old read a National Geographic by herself. This is not even something I question this was a fact for so many years. I was 8 in 1983 not in 1980!
When I was 2 I almost drowned I remember everything about that. I also remember everything major from my childhood.
Ask me about me any major events I have a really good memory.

This happens all the time. It's due to the fact that reporters no longer engage in any fact-checking and report rumors and hearsay as actual news. Perhaps a commoner with the same name as a celebrity cashes in his chips and there's an obituary printed, some moron reporter thinks it's the famous "Billy Graham" rather than the retired truck driver from Selma "Billy Graham" and doesn't do one second of research to back up their false assumption.
Sometimes it's also a hoax, I suppose. Doesn't matter the source, reporters believe anything as fact since they are pawns these days anyway.

No I am not crazy. Why in the world would this be one of the few memories that have changed for me? A lot of others on here have experienced things like this too and they are not crazy.
I know it happened in 1983 and I even asked my mom she also said 1983. My dad started subscribing to National Geographic in 1982. It was a curent issue.
Maybe the movie that came out in 1984 about Mt St helen's gave it a lot of media attention in 1983. When I was 5 I did not even pay attention to the news/media not until I was 7 and Billy Graham siad the world was ending soon. After seeing that I watched the news a lot more to look for these "signs" of the end of times. He even said something about the Mt St Helens eruption was a sign from God. In my area news of the eruption was heard more in 1983.
I am thinking that maybe that is what happened; as a kid I got confused and thought it was happening then?
What about the LHC creating a black hole? Maybe the news misreported?

Well you should leave it,i.e. this thread if its so stupid. We don't need you. Not that you have too, but that's my thought. star and flag to op,and yes I think there is some strange stuff going on. I thought graham was dead and so did my wife, even though she does not read ATS.
PS the ignore button is a god send, thank you ATS
