Ray Bradbury and 'The Martian Chronicles', turned a nine year old boy that hated reading into a person that is addicted to reading. What do you even say about something so life changing? I would not be the person I am if I hadn't run across that book. R.I.P. Mr. Bradbury. A very sad and thankful Sin. WoE.

The Martian Chronicles. Fahrenheit 451. Dandelion Wine. Something Wicked This Way Comes. The Illustrated Man. I Sing The Body Electric. So many many more. The Illustrated Man affected me in a similar way, Warlord. I could read that book almost weekly and still enjoy it. Such a brilliant creative mind. R.I.P.

English isn't much of a language for swearing. When I studied Ancient Greek I was delighted to discover a single word - Rhaphanidosthai - which translates roughly as "Be thou thrust up the fundament with a radish for adultery."

Eduard "Trololo" Khil, Russian singer. 77. Complications from a stroke.
He may be gone, but the trololo lives on!

No...how sad
He will never be forgotten.

Rodney King, victim of police brutality whose beating sparked the L.A. riots. 47. Drowned in his pool.
I know he had a lot of issues with drug and alcohol abuse stemming from the beating and riots (and really, who could blame him), and I wonder if intoxication had something to do with the drowning.

I remember Rodney King being on the news as if it was only yesterday. Such a shame that he either couldn't get the help he so obviously needed, or that his problems were so bad that nothing helped him.

Yes and apparently he died young.

Species is a misspelling. Feel is an intentional slang.
