Jackson, Fawcett RIP



Farrah Fawcett dies after a prolonged battle with cancer, age 62. Michael Jackson dies of a sudden heart attack, age 50.

What a bizarre juxtaposition. On the same day, a moderately successful actress passes on after a very private fight is carried out very much in the public eye. Meanwhile, an incredibly successful, though why is a complete mystery to me, pop singer's life turns into a freak show that simply ends as if cut off by a large, curved agricultural implement.

But then, death leads a varied... existence.

    Giving the innkeeper a light was probably a violation of the duty, even if he was going to get one himself eventually.

    What's five minutes to DEATH out of eternitity?

    I'll have to reread some of the Pratchetts... I thought the Alchemists had already invented matches.
