I saw this on the news this morning. He was HIV positive, I think. He was healthy for a long time after his diagnosis. I loved him on the old Burt Reynolds sitcom.

Laci Peterson's husband has been arrested, and they're going to charge him with two counts of homicide. They say the bodies that were found are those of Laci and her baby. The story is on AOL, (probably other places too)so not sure if i could link it or not. Any suggestions?

Little bit of light news that isn't the type of to make it in the News and Views section. Well, maybe it is but it would just start a fight, I am sure. RFLOL

1st annual International Stupidity Awards

Toronto to host First Annual World Stupidity Awards (Moron's website)


I love this quote:
"While the Darwin Awards laud those who've killed themselves in acts of stupidity, "we believe the living stupid are far more influential and demand recognition" said Nerenberg, an independent filmmaker and creator of the fake-movie-trailer Web site Trailervision"

Among those nominated are: Former Iraqi Information Minster Saeed al-Sahaf, US President George Bush, and Toronto Mayor Mel Lastman and Tory MP Elsie Wayne.

HEY!!!! I like Saeed. :)

There's just been a terrible train derailment in Commerce City, an area just to the northeast of Los Angeles. No details yet, but the pictures look like a major tornado has just gone through. It's really shocking to see.

I hope that there are no fatalities or major injuries, but from the looks of things it would be a miracle.

Chai: So far, amazingly, no victims found. It was a lumber train...so, all that lumber all over the place and through windows, etc. 2 houses destroyed, 6 others badly damaged. just moderate, minor injuries so far. Thank God.
