> [@Hi\_Neighbor](#): > > I thought that would be kind of cool. You know, the “Wikipedia Killer.” He goes around and edits your Wiki page, adding a date of death sometime in the future. Before you know it, the that person is dead. You know, I wonder if this is actually a common occurrence. Not the “killer” aspect but, rather, the idea that people, for whatever reason, routinely add dates of death for various celebrities on a daily basis…and we only become aware of it when a celebrity actually croaks. ---

According to her Wikipedia page right this instant… tomorrow she will be lowered from a hot air balloon to my front yard, in red bathing suit and perfect hair, will kiss me on the cheek and tousle my hair, then invite me into the waiting limo to go get pizza. According to my Wikipedia page, I will be stunned and stammering like a schoolboy and unable to accompany her, and will live bitterly with that regret for the rest of my life. ---

Wow. You knew it was coming but she and her friends kept trying to put such a brave face on things it was hard to know just how far gone she was. Her life certainly had its highs and lows. RIP, Farrah. ---
