RIP John Hughes 
Heart Attack. At least that was better then being run over by a steam roller.

More Ronnie Biggs...
LONDON - Britain's notorious "Great Train Robber," nearly 80 and close to death, was released Thursday from his prison sentence, but he's expected to stay right where he is - in a hospital bed.
Britain's Justice Secretary Jack Straw said he decided to release Ronnie Biggs on compassionate grounds after he fell seriously ill this week in his cell at Norwich Prison, 120 miles (190 kilometres) northeast of London.
The prison officers watching Biggs at the Norwich and Norfolk Hospital will remain overnight, and leave tomorrow, once the paperwork for his release is complete, Straw said. Biggs' 80th birthday is Saturday.
His lawyer, Giovanni Di Stefano, said Biggs was being released to die.
Biggs is aiming for the Party Pooper Award. It would be a first for the Poly DP.

You can confirm Bobby Robson as well.
Or is there a mourning period before points are awarded?

I'm pissed off now.

You're pissed? How do you think I feel?
Obviously I'm in the wrong line of work.

She's on several lists.
BARNSTABLE, Mass. (AP) — Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the sister of President John F. Kennedy and a longtime champion for the disabled, was in critical condition Friday at a Massachusetts hospital.
Shriver, 88, was surrounded by her husband, children and grandchildren at Cape Cod Hospital in Barnstable, said family spokesman Stephen Rivers.
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the husband of Shriver’s daughter, Maria, was also there, said Aaron McLear, a spokesman for the governor.
