Although Stanley is gone, his organic molecules will live again!

Upon reading that Chinese Vice Premier Huang Ju just died at the age of 68 after a prolonged illness, my immediate reaction was “Rachm Qoch probably just scored 32 points.”

Wyoming Sen. Craig Thomas dies at 74

WooHoo!! I busted my cherry on a dead politician!

More points for me! Woo and hoo!

You don’t want to TELL them, but ASKING is perfectly ok, as in, “Could you hurry up and die, please?”

Don’t forget the please. It makes all the difference. :wink:

Also, a woman has been arrested in connection with the death of Howard Porter, who was found in a Minneapolis alley on May 19 after being beaten. Porter, who died a week later at the age of 58, had led Villanova’s basketball team to the 1971 NCAA title game. However, after the Wildcats lost to UCLA, Porter’s honor as the tournament’s most outstanding player was rescinded (as was his squad’s designation as national runner-up) when it was revealed that he had been dealing with an agent during the season.
