It’s amazing how fact-checkers can so quickly announce the death of someone who was a footnote to history who is all but forgotten. They will mention someone who had a bit part in a one-season TV show from the 1960’s. I wonder how they do it.

You bank the obit ahead of time. Even now, with Google, that's still how they do it.

The BBC ran a rehearsal recently of the Queen's (not-long-in-) passing, and some rube in Urdu of all places breached protocol and tweeted it, thinking it was real.
