Siri Is Telling People Stan Lee Died Yesterday

12 minutes ago

Marvel Comics icon Stan Lee is going to die. This much is certain. And it will be an incredibly sad day when Stan "The Man" finally leaves us. But it hasn't happened yet, even though Siri seems to think that Lee died yesterday -- July 2 -- at the age of 95. Think I'm kidding? Ask your Siri, right now, "How old is Stan Lee?" It will go like this.

Here's how we found this. We were driving home from a media screening of Peyton Reed's new movie, Ant-Man And The Wasp. Stan Lee has a cameo, because of course he does. And my teenage son commented that Stan was looking old, so it will be sad when he no longer can make Marvel cameos anymore. So my kid casually asks Siri how old Stan Lee is. And Siri tells us that Stan Lee died on July 2, 2018 at the age of 95.

The day that we happened to ask Siri how old Stan Lee is.

So, we raced into the house, and started scanning news outlets. Nothing. And so far? Still nothing. If Stan Lee had died, this news would be everywhere. Why does Siri think that Stan Lee died yesterday? We asked it again this morning, in the video above. They are sticking to this story. Could it be true?
