Who Died Today?

[loogie 115]

Why couldn't that old hack have offed himself in 2003, before he ruined kill bill 2.

That's a weird opinion.

[Sal Paradise 57]

That's a weird opinion.

it's actually more weird that you used the word "weird" instead of the correct word which would be "bad."

RIP David EddingDavid Eddings, a Spokane, Wash., native and fantasy writer who wrote more than two dozen novels, died Tuesday. He was 77. Eddings died of natural causes at his home in Carson City, Nev. Eddings' novels included the multi-volume "Belgariad" and "Malloreon" series. Many were written with his wife, Leigh, who died in 2007. His last book was "The Younger Gods" published in 2006. In 1973, Eddings published "High Hunt," a non-fantasy story that explored themes of manhood and coming of age for four men on a hunting trip shortly after the Vietnam War. Several years later, Eddings read J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" and decided fantasy writing was his calling.

Ventures guitarist Bob Bogle dies at 75Hits included "Walk -- Don't Run," "Hawaii Five-O"(CNN) -- Ventures lead guitarist Bob Bogle, whose fretwork on such instrumental hits such as "Walk -- Don't Run" and "Hawaii Five-O" influenced countless bands, died Sunday in Vancouver, Washington.He was 75.The cause was non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, according to Don Wilson, who co-founded the Ventures with Bogle in the 1950s."He had a special sound that nobody could ever re-create. He was totally unique as a guitar player," Wilson told CNNRadio.Wilson and Bogle learned how to play guitar while working as construction workers in the 1950s in their native Tacoma, Washington. The pair formed the Ventures in 1958."We had a lot of time on our hands after work, so we'd get together and play," Wilson recalled. "A year and a half later, we had a number two hit called 'Walk -- Don't Run.' " The group first heard the song on a Chet Atkins record.Several other hits followed, including "Perfidia," "Walk Don't Run '64" and "Diamond Head." The group took the theme of the TV show "Hawaii Five-O" into the Top Ten in 1969 and later supplied background music for the series.But the band, which played almost solely instrumentals, was perhaps more influential for its albums. Thirty-eight of the band's long-players hit Billboard's Top 200 chart, including albums that covered country songs, dance tunes and Christmas melodies. One of the band's albums was titled "Play Guitar with the Ventures," and countless did."I can't think of a better contribution for instrumental music on his style than 'Walk -- Don't Run,' " Wilson said. "A lot of good would-be guitar players and garage bands would go out and buy guitars just to learn that song."The Ventures were voted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008. At the induction ceremony, Creedence Clearwater Revival's John Fogerty praised the group: "It's enough to say, the Ventures are the most popular instrumental band of all time," he said.Bogle fought his illness with dignity, Wilson said."His doctors gave him 10 years to live, and he lived 12. The last two years were really tough. At least he lived to know the Ventures had been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame."Bogle is survived by his wife, Yumi.One of my favorite bands ever.

Carradine was found naked with a rope around his neck and a rope around his genitals??? Autoerotic asphyxiation claims another victim?

Am I the only one who thought of the X-Files episode "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose"?

Clyde Bruckman: You know, there are worse ways to go, but I can't think of a more undignified way than autoerotic asphyxiation. Mulder: Why are you telling ME that? Clyde Bruckman: Look, forget I mentioned it. It's none of my business.

There is some evidence that that the more sexual partners you have had, the more likely you are to develop anal cancer. This may be because more partners means more chances of contact with the HPV virus. Also, women who have anal intercourse, and men who have receptive anal intercourse have a higher risk of developing anal cancer. This may be because they are more likely to have HPV infection of the anus, or it might be due to other factors, such as inflammation of the anus.
