OT Sad News - Don McKenzie - 2009-06-25 18:41:00

Sad news:

Charlie's Angel Farrah Fawcett dies at 62

Michael Jackson dies at 50.

?A girl has apparently died from electrocution while using her laptop to 
post on twitter, while in the bath. Maria Barbu, 17, of Brasov, Romania, 
is said to have been plugging her laptop into wall current at the time, 
after "the battery died during a long session on social networking site 
Twitter as she took a soak."

That is actually good news!  One less paedophile in the 
world is always good news!  Just wait, now that Wacko Jacko 
is gone, all the people that were paid off will come out and 
start telling their stories.   Now you're going see what he 
was really like!

Not a sick joke at all -- this world is wildly overpopulated. Every moron
counts.
