How many famous people with R in their name does that make this year?

Just like lobster and crab. You know avoid these crustacians during months with an R in it.

OctobeR? Eh.

A well-positioned continuing observation, Rant.

I have not seen the story about Mr Reeve.

I am not a believer in the R theory.

There is an update now on drudgereport.com about the death of Christopher Reeve.

Who? Is he a politician with no power? Who is he? Why do we care if he dies besides the fact it is one less human to brighten up the days on Earth?

I hadn't seen a recent picture, he looks ill.



October 5, 2004 in Chicago.

Quadriplegic actor most famous for the 70s Superman pap.

He follows the Superman curse (that included George Reeves, no relation to Christopher Reeve) not an R curse. Methinks. Or not.

It's a bird. It's a plane.

If Faye Wray can't hide behind her spelling, we're all doomed.

Sad now though. I think he is dead.

Please nobody say Bush killed him though. That's taking the Stem Cell debate a little too far.

Or is it?

Another well positioned continuing observation, no?

I still don't see it on Drudge Report or Drudge Retort.

Where would this likely be first announced?

???

The news would be showing up on Yahoo News first or Google News. Nothing there yet. Since they compile news reports, it's generally easy to search there.

It's on the main page MA. With the Stem Cell debate tie in.

Nikki Finke in Los Angeles is reporting that actor Christopher Reeve is dead, according to sources close to the actor. He died suddenly Sunday. News of his death has not been reported publicly yet. His family will make an announcement Monday at the earliest. Reeve was just mentioned Friday in the second live presidential debate by John Kerry. Noting he was a friend of the paralysed Reeve, Kerry said he was in favor of further stem cell research because Reeve could walk again one day thanks to such science.... MORE...

Fox 11 in Los Angeles just reported Reeve's death on their 10:00 p.m. newscast.

So long, Superman.

CNN International is reporting Reeve died of cardiac arrest at his home in NY.

AP feeds are reporting it, too.

Yep I just saw it on Fox News .

Bad year for celebrities.

Never liked him much but he was one hell of a fighter! I hope he is in a better place now.......R.I.P.

Thats the guy! Damn, i didn't place the name. Well, RIP Reeve, Superman sucks, Spiderman better, but well, you fought and lost, and am hopefully in a beter place now.

Just another liberal hollywood actor. One less vote for Kerry.

Ok, I'll bite. Which is better? A voter's death, or a vote for Kerry?

All starting from a fall from a horse...
