    Vaclav Havel. Bohemian. Revolutionary. Rock and Roll Fan. Used to ride his red scooter up and down the halls of the Czech presidential Castle. RIP.

    Not a celeb per se, but Kim Jong Il is dead.

    A friend of mine actually worked at a magazine owned by a guy who loved Kim Jong, and who was probably crushed today that he's dead. Me, I just thought of him in Team America: World Police. Heh.

    Vaclav Havel passing away is really sad. The guy fought for freedom, man.

    You don't think animals can live long lives? Not so long ago, A Galapagos turtle passed away. It met Charles Darwin. Did you?

    There's some controversy over whether or not the monkey that died was actually Cheatah. Also, there are skeptics, as chimpanzees raised in captivity tend to live between 40 and 60 years, and this chimp was purported to be 80 years old when it died.

    Wow. Why the hell would someone fake a monkey's identity? That's really bizarre.

    Yeah, there was no actual evidence that it was the actual chimp, as records were "destroyed in a fire". Also, it's apparently not the first time someone claimed they had the actual Cheetah and that he/she/it died.

    Yeah, I heard about the false report last night, but this morning he definitely passed away. I only posted it when I was sure.
