So much for that whole "death comes in three" bit. Man, the Grim Reaper has been putting work this week.

I kind of feel bad for Farah Fawcett. Poor woman keeps getting eclipsed by more important deaths.

I was kind of laughing about it. It seems as if Fawcett planned her death to be some sort of media blitz from the start (having a show following her decay).

Not down playing her death, or the cause of it because that's a horrible way to go. But, she was famous for hard nipples on a poster over 30 years ago. As far as media coverage goes, I think she got hers.

A friend made this and hasn't even been an hour since his death.

In the words of Quinton Flynn: Life is precious.

Guess he had his head banged up after a rough airplane landing on Saturday:

From Yahoo News

Mays' wife, Deborah Mays, told investigators that her husband had complained he didn't feel well before he went to bed some time after 10 p.m. Saturday night, Tampa police spokeswoman Laura McElroy said.

U.S. Airways confirmed Sunday that Mays was among the passengers on a flight that made a rough landing on Saturday afternoon at Tampa International Airport, leaving debris on the runway after apparently blowing its front tires.

Tampa Bay's Fox television affiliate interviewed Mays after the incident.

"All of a sudden as we hit you know it was just the hardest hit, all the things from the ceiling started dropping," MyFox Tampa Bay quoted him as saying. "It hit me on the head, but I got a hard head."

McElroy said linking Mays' death to the rough landing Saturday afternoon would "purely be speculation." She said Mays' family members didn't report any health issues with the pitchman, but they said he was due to have hip replacement surgery in the coming weeks.
