Question Du Jour: Dead Celebrities
Here's a weird question for you: What celebrity would you be least surprised to find out had come back from the dead? (Warning: "Chuck Norris" is not a funny answer.)

I'm gonna go with Clint Eastwood. He'd just sorta brush the dirt off his shoulder, get up, look vaguely irritated, and get back to directing.

(Tell me I'm full of it)

A little early for this, probably, but I can't resist.

Michael Jackson, duh! :D

My wife said Michael Jackson as well, because he was more plastic than anything else.

Personally, my first thought WAS Chuck Norris, whether it's funny or not. I'm going with "funny," regardless of what the big man says.

ETA: My wife points out that Chuck Norris ISN'T a funny answer, because obviously he can't die and will live forever.

Me neither. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a comeback tour announced.

Another one I keep thinking of is Tupac Shakur. As Riley from "Boondocks" said: "2Pac ain't dead, he got a new album coming out every six months."

Keith Richards. I wouldn't be surprised to find out he'd come back from the dead several times, in fact.

Isaac Asimov. Because of course he had a very experimental procedure done, and he's just dying to tell us all about it.

Ooh! Bruce Campbell. Hands down.

He'd wipe away the dirt, toss of a one-liner (probably "Groovy,") and then go on to kick some zombie ass. Whether in a movie or in real life is yet to be seen.

Christopher Walken.

That said, Tupac Shakur wrote and spoke very seriously about faking his death and his admiration of Machiavelli shortly before he was shot. I don't think he's still out there, but I wouldn't be surprised if he showed up again.

Walt Disney. Although Wikipedia tells me that he actually was not crygenically frozen, the technology was around, and I think that this is misinformation spread by the all-too-rich-and-powerful Disney Corp. He will rise one of these days.

Man, it would be weird if that actually happened.

The question is ambiguous: do you mean someone we'd be unsurprised to find out has already died and come back, or that we'd be unsurprised to see come back once they've died some time in the future?

(Your answer helps disambiguate things a bit, but still.)

From Walt Disney's secret video will:

"M-I-C, see you real soon!

K-E-Y, why? Because we have unfinished business.

M. O. U. S. Eeeeee."

The 'M-i-c, k-e-y' delivered with the expected exuberance, at least what's possible for an aging, ailing man. Moving to 'Because...', where Walt's gimlet eyes, even coming from a recording, bore through your very soul. 'M. O. U. S. Eeee.' with a deliberate, slightly slower off-pace flat recitation. Unblinking before the video cuts out.

It sinks in. Walt would like a word with you. And he's coming back to have it.

Nope, she's not dead yet. Whew...

Why did you pick her?
