I think RJ's typical way of writing is that the the future victim themselves think or say something that figures into their defeat. Semirhage, for example, thought that she would not allow herself to be sacrificed and the Dark One enabled Rand to access the True Power to destroy her without blocking Rand's access to it, which could have been done. Ishamael thought that Rand was an untrained farmboy that could be scared into obedience, and he ended up being destroyed because of his own ignorance as to what Rand values. So, to me, Aran'gar's statement has nothing to do with any of the other Forsaken, and may have more to do with his impending defeat.
"Those who think they have no time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness."
Ironic foreshadowing of Graendal's death?

Hmmm, I don't think so. I think it may be indicative of his own end, though.

I don't follow your logic here

Still, this quote doesn't foreshadow Aran'gar's death at all. *NM*

Wait, have I read this passage wrong??

That was my interpretation as well, when I read it in the book. *NM*

I don't really see "my fellow bad guys are going to die" as being terribly prophetic

Arangar's allies die because she kills them, not because of some random twists of fate...

If you're referring to the reference to "those who found graves", then it fits most Forsaken deaths

I disagree; as I explained in the other posts the parallels are there in an ironic way. *NM*

It doesn't fit with Graendal's demise enough to have been hinting at it
