Andy Kaufman - is he still alive?

simu

Can't think where else to post this...

Andy Kaufman (US comedian and star of the "Andy Kaufman's bongos" boards gathering card!) is apparently still alive and he has a blog here! He claims his death was an elaborate hoax! What do people think? Is this just a trick or is he really still alive?

Karoma

the king is alive!

(ignorant) how accurate is dna testing; if you have blood samples and possibly more on record - and are given hair, blood, and other samples... how accurate a match would you get?

DNA matches are pretty much fool-proof.

"He has subjected himself to medical examination and submitted DNA, hair, blood and fingerprint samples to the auditors. Ernst & Young and the Kaufman family report that with a 99% probability" ... dunno. would have thought 99.something if they have sammples before and now.. just curious what the specific figure is.

The Andy Kaufman FAQ

http://andykaufman.jvlnet.com/akfaq.htm

think Latka Gravas on the TV sitcom comedy Taxi, or the film 'Man on the moon' starring Jim Carrey which was based on Andy Kaufman's life story..

the guy is a legend, and one of the most original and compelling comedians of all time...

Chances are it's just some guy with too much time on his hands. There are tons of fake blogs on the net, kind of a creepy fan thing (think perfect blue).
