He was on the 2002 list but I think he deserves another chance for 2004. In all the years of Deathlist we've never successfully picked an anthropologist so I reckon its about time we got one!
Oh and hes French too - so thats a bonus!

I note that Prof Claude Levi-Strauss is celebrating his 95th birthday today.

Notice that the old boy is written about here in the past tense, so they're not too keen on his chances...

I hope I don't sound dumb for asking this but is this guy related to the Blue Jean manufacturer? Son, Brother, Nephew, or maybe he himself was involved...
this is a serious post...i really wonder

[I]They were leading a priest, a drunkard and an engineer to the guillotine. They asked the priest if he wanted to face up or down when he met his fate. The priest said that he would like to face up so he would be looking towards heaven when he died. They raised the blade of the guillotine, released it, it came speeding down and suddenly stopped just inches from his neck. The authorities took this as divine intervention and released the priest.
Next the drunkard came to the guillotine. He also decided to die face up hoping that he would be as fortunate as the priest. They raised the blade of the guillotine, released it, it came speeding down and suddenly stopped just inches from his neck. So they released the drunkard as well.
The engineer was next. He too decided to die facing up. They slowly raised the blade of the guillotine, when suddenly the engineer said, "Hey, I see what your problem is."

Well, I wish he would live one hundred more years and that all of you woulld have the intelligence to read his wonderful books. The problem with most of you is that you consider knowledge as a hobby for the freaks...When the time of your death will come, you may finally understand that you knew nothing, that you totally wasted your lifes, unlike this great thinker who was humble enough to gather wisdom from the common man.
Consequently, I wait with great impatience to YOUR deaths, all of you, may it be swift and soon, you miserable dorks

Swift demises, and moderators being accused of being childish is all too much change for me. It's not the forum I once knew and loved.

In fact, I reckon that as a structural anthropologist, ol' Claude would probably love this site, if he doesn't already. Besides, I don't think he's published anything since '95, so unless he's cosseted away researching something new and exciting, what good will another hundred years do?
