Wow! I'm loving this thread! Can't believe I missed 29 pages of it while it was happening.... Just finished going through all those pages, one question that I noticed didn't get answered (there were several, I don't remember them all):

The person who died at an age where all 3 digits of his age were the same was Lemech, father of Noach, at 777.
