Elia Kazan died yesterday, director of "On the Waterfront" and "East of
Eden."
I've noticed that several of the recent celebrity deaths have the age of
death in common.
John Ritter 54
Warren Zevon 54
Robert Palmer 54
Stanley Fafara (Whitey from Leave it to Beaver) 54

(except that "54" isn't a permissible number in base 5.. perhaps that's
why the "or something"..)

But 54 base 16 is 84 base 10. Perhaps that's the "or something".
