Ever have to call the Library as the fastest way to determine who is right about who is dead?

The Book of the Dead:

http://www.msu.edu/~daggy/cop/bkofdead/index.htm

Has the dead, the not dead, the limbo (undetermined), and the unknown.
Settle a bet.
Takes a little time to load.
At the bottom there are combined databases and also "Other Databases" - for example Oscar Winners.
If you click on a Catagory, then an individual, be sure to look at the upper right of your screen to see if they are dead or not.

I started collecting famous peoples' obituaries about 15 years ago. I could never remember if a person was dead or still living. I'm glad I did, because now I have a slew of them + a lot of details about their lives and death circumstances.

Does anyone know how to find the site again?
It really was a good place to go to settle a bet!
