Pssst. That's not the trolley.

We're sad to report actress Elizabeth Peña, perhaps best known for 'Jacob's Ladder', 'La Bamba', and 'The Incredibles' has passed away at age 55. Rest in peace. http://imdb.to/1w9enAq

That's a bit of a shock.

Only last week or so I read an article where she said she was stopping treatment and hoped to die peacefully in January, so I'm kind of shocked it happened so soon

Now I'll have to rething my 2015 pool list.... :eek:



I saw an article asking people if the thought ebola or ISIS was the bigger threat to America. It pointed out that statistically they should be more worried about cancer. (and moving large furniture)

Cure Cancer. (I'm sick of the "Fuck Cancer" thing)

Ben Bradlee

Ben Bradlee, the editor of the Washington Post during the Watergate scandal that toppled President Richard Nixon, has died aged 93.


BBC Link

This morning, the Washington Post gave him the front page above the fold and like 7-8 pages in the A section. I wonder how many they gave US Presidents when they died? Can't remember.

Reminds me of when I was on yearbook staff in high school, I was able to get photos of all my siblings into the yearbook, while the year before, when I wasn't on the staff, none of us were in there.

Bradlee bows out
 

We are all flawed...

Tom Magliozzi, Popular Co-Host Of NPR's 'Car Talk,' Dies At 77

I always listened to Car Talk on my trips to the US and subsequently on the Internet.

The great thing about about that programme was that you didn't have to have any interest in cars in order to enjoy it. The infectious laughter and banter was what made it.

RIP Old chap.
