Poor Bill Cosby. Hardly a month goes by without somebody on the Internet declaring him dead. One such instance occurred on February 5, 2010, prompting the comedian to respond as follows on his personal blog:

"And now ladies and gentlemen for my rebuttal: As you well know, a dead person cannot rebuttal. Therefore, I am rebuttaling to tell you that when I heard the news I immediately began rebuttaling and went into denial. My wife has just informed me that there is no such word as rebuttaling, she says the word is rebutting. But I don’t care, because I’m alive! Thank you. PS. That’s another thing dead people don’t say."
