Just me or does anyone else think this guy was dead decades ago?

I'm still shocked that Henry Kissinger is still alive. At this point, it should be a hn story ```Kissinger still alive``` (200 comments)

  I was at a screening of a documentary in Rockefeller center about the liberation of Ahlem. Henry Kissinger was giving remarks afterward. Stopped speaking mid-sentence, and stared directly at me, locking eyes, in the front row for at least 10 seconds before resuming. Everyone around me was puzzled. To this day we don't know why, and my brother likes to tell people at parties that Henry Kissinger hates me.

    I would never sleep through the night again. That is terrifying.

  Why are people shocked? Some people live well into their 90s. Kissinger is 99. Jimmy Carter is 98. Charlie Munger is 98. Warren Buffett is 92. Mel Brooks is 96. Roger Penrose is 91. Willie Nelson is 90. Ed Thorp is 90. Kissinger just published a book: https://www.amazon.com/Leadership-Six-Studies-World-Strategy/dp/0593489446 https://www.amazon.com/Leadership-Six-Studies-World-Strategy...

Not just you. I'm surprised he was still alive given he did a lot of hard-living and had health problems going back to the 1980s.

For me, his name hashes to Jerry Lewis the comedian so I did do a double-take at the article.

  That could be it for me too. Weird collision.

  When Jerry Lewis died 5 years ago I read an HN comment saying somebody thought it was Jerry Lee Lewis. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15061018 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15061018 I didn't remember that I made a bad joke replying to that. My second born child was a handful of days old at the time, must have been in that sleep deprived dad joke state.
