No, Lord Russell left us in 1970, after a mere 98 years.

I tried for years to write a type of poem about him called a Clerihew, but it never came out very well:

Bertrand Russell
Could bustle and hustle--
If he'd had nine lives
He'd have had thirty-six wives.

My favorite Russell story, from his autobiography, was that when he was about four years old he was at a gathering that included Robert Browning. Browning was holding forth, talking nonstop, and finally little Bertie in a piercing voice said loudly, "Oh, I do wish that man would stop talking." Whereupon Browning stopped talking.
