Was it the voice that died or the actual dog?

If you reach you 90s, and then die, I think instead of mourning, people should just give you a standing ovation.

say Win Wenders with the tune of "Hey Big Spender" in your head just once and you'll never look at his name the same again

Charlotte Rae died, Mrs. Garrett from Facts of Life. What an awful sitcom that was. She was ok in it though, had a bubbly vivacious quality.

NPR reported this directly after leading with the Indonesian earthquake. Unfortunately, to announce Rae’s death, they smash cut to the chippper Fact of Life theme: “You take the good/you take the bad/you take them both and/there you have the /facts of life, the facts of life...” right after grimly announcing how many presumed dead.

Think ahead, guys.

She had this very weird but charming manner...the head shake and vibrato in her voice...always made her interesting to watch.

yes Robuchon had a lot of restaurants (around two dozen), but a cumulative total of 35 Michelin stars is quite an accomplishment and speaks a lot about his desire for perfection.

Paul Laxalt died, Republican senator from Nevada. He had strong ties to Ronald Reagan somehow, I forget the particulars. The main thing I remember about him was that everything he said was comically bland, like a parody of a boring politician. Also he looked like a soap opera actor or tv anchor. RIP
