Topic: Andy Kaufman may be alive, apparently.

http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Andy-Kau … 40294.html

I'm a big fan of stand-up comedy, and this blows my mind. Kaufman sure had his own style, and from what of I've seen of him I would describe him as always a character. He seemed like he was always putting on a persona whether he was on stage or not. If this turns out to be true, I am blown away that we live in a world where the internet is the entity that it is, and this has not been uncovered until now.

Re: Andy Kaufman may be alive, apparently.

What'd be way cooler is if Kaufman left specific instructions before his death for 30 years in the future, about how to prank the people of the future into thinking he was still alive.

Re: Andy Kaufman may be alive, apparently.

I know nothing about Kaufman, but just reading that article has me interested. What an accomplishment that would be? Only... I can't really imagine it being a 'prank' (almost 30 years is little too long for it to have much relevance). The article mentions that his father had recently died, was there some conflict between them that would have motivated him to stay hidden all this time?

On another note, and speaking as someone who has two brothers, I'm struggling to imagine how I would feel not really knowing for certain whether one of them was alive or dead, and having someone come up to me claiming that my brother is actually alive, after almost 30 years, is either in really poor taste or potentially a source of becoming actually quite hurt - but then, maybe the relationship between the brothers here was always a weird one.
