How do you accidentally overdose on 8 different types of drugs? “I think I forgot my medicine today, better take another one of each” 5 minutes later “Oh, did I take my oxycuntun? I should make sure” 10 minutes later "Shit, I never took my dramaqueenophyl. _pops 3 more pills_ 15 minutes later “More botox… more… MORE DAMNIT” 20 minutes later “I need some sleeping pills… It’s expired so I better take a triple dosage!” 30 minutes later …GACKT… _drops dead_ ---

[QUOTE=gigi] He was dropped on his head as a baby. No really. [/QUOTE] You mean like, seriously, really? And how did you find out? I would have thought such an injury would have indented his head rather than elevated a portion of it…barring an offsetting indendation somewhere else which is not visible on camera, that is. ---

The autopsy report is posted to [The Smoking Gun](http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2007/0326071anna1.html). I was mildly surprised to see that the drug primarily blamed for her death is chloral hydrate (they still prescribe that? Who was her doctor— Mickey Finn, M.D.?) and that no fewer than SIX different benzodiazepine drugs were found in her system. Pretty sure even the pill-pushiest physician wouldn’t prescribe that many at the same time. Really gave Elvis a run for his money, Anna Nicole did. Is it too early to start “sighting” her out & about? ---

It kind of begs the question as to why two “intelligent” (assume IQ not EQ or not ethical anyway) men are fighting over her baby. ---

[QUOTE=Beware of Doug] Anybody have the lowdown on what’s with Dr. Perper’s [noggin](http://mlb.mlb.com/images/2003/02/18/METrNy7M.jpg)? Did he see any combat back in Israel or anything?

[QUOTE=featherlou] I think the only real question in anybody’s mind was that one word, “accidental.” [/QUOTE] Some people suspect her husband of being behind her death. I must say, I don’t get the impression that he went to great lengths to discourage either Anna Nicole or her son from their raging drug use. ---

**MelCthefirst** > [@](#): > > It kind of begs the question as to why two “intelligent” (assume IQ not EQ or not ethical anyway) men are fighting over her baby. I believe Anna Nicole’s inheritance from her marriage to the octogenarian oil magnate J Howard Marshall has yet to be resolved. Therefore, _any_ relationship to Anna Nicole Smith (for example - being the father of her child) would probably mean millions. From [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Nicole_Smith#Inheritance_court_cases) : > [@](#): > > After Anna’s death the New York Times reported that the case over the Marshall fortune “is likely to continue in the name of Ms. Smith’s infant daughter. ---

The joys of living in a foreign country for an extended period of time. I actually had to ask someone who Anna Micole Smith was. Of course, I guess I could have just googled her. Of course, when anyone asks why I’ve lived in Japan for 17 years, I tell them about all the things I’ve missed: the OJ trial, Monica, the Bush years. ---

[QUOTE=Larry Mudd] I’m hoping that CNN will give us an update on the state of Generalísimo Francisco Franco soon. I’m on the edge of my seat, over here. [/QUOTE] According to reports in Spanish CNN, he recently abandoned his mausoleum after his favourite grandchild started working as the host of a reality show. Rumours of sightings of the Generalísimo riding the waves in Tarifa have not been confirmed.
