[As I write this, "Roadhouse" is playing on TV.]
90’s movie star Patrick Swayze lost his battle with cancer yesterday.
His phantom arms are around us all now.
Farewell, Mr. Swayze.

At 7:49AM this morning (June 28), loud hairy TV pitchman Billy Mays was pronounced dead – as simple as 1-2-3. It is currently not known if the death of the 50-year-old was related to a minor airline accident injury from the previous day.
Farewell Billy – he lived life with an exclamation point.
Billy Mays was the face of many well known and fine products:

3:13PM: the television news media (CNN, FOX, MSNBC) has yet to officially state that Michael Jackson is dead. Jackson was not breathing when he was rushed to the UCLA Medical Center at 12:26PM today, in a state of cardiac arrest.
3:15PM: L.A. Times now states that doctors have pronounced Michael Jackson dead.
3:30PM: CNN television news announces that Michael Jackson is dead. Suck it CNN! You’re 15 minutes behind!
NOTE: Michael Jackson is declared only “99% dead” – his nose was already declared legally dead over 7 years ago.

It’s going to be years before we can giggle again at the term “anal cancer.”
A shitty way to die (sorry . . . too soon).

The Face – The infamous “Face on Mars” is so 1977. The odd-shaped hill in the Cydonia region of Mars had a face-like appearance due to the lighting and angle of the Viking 1 orbiter image. Subsequent higher resolution images reveal that this hill does not actually have a face on it . . . it’s more of a “mask.”
The Bunny – In March 2004, the Opportunity Rover and Lander cameras caught images of this small rabbit-eared “thing”, which was blown across their fields of view. Further analyses by NASA/JPL solve the mystery: a piece of insulation. Though it could easily look like some multi-legged martian creature.
The Martian Skull – In 2006 an “independent researcher” claims to have identified a skull (or helmet-shaped thing) in one of the panoramic photos taken by the Mars Spirit Rover. Most likely identification: a rock. However, our Blogadilla forensic sketch artist (me) has taken liberties to make it look more alien-skull-helmet like.
