  • RIP British mystery writer Dick Francis.

    Mr. Francis’s notable but blighted career as a champion steeplechase jockey for the British royal family was eclipsed by a second, more brilliant career as a popular thriller writer.

      None of our players picked him.

            • You think so? How about this...

              He wasn't much of a celebrity, but what the heck, it's a slow day.

              Vancouver police say a body has been discovered and that it could be that of missing actor Andrew Koenig.

              Police were to release more details at a news conference later today, and say Koenig’s family will be present.

              Police have asked reporters to gather in Stanley Park, where the body was found at about noon.

              Koenig disappeared on Feb. 14 and is best known for his Richard “Boner” Stabone role in the 1980s sitcom “Growing Pains.”

              On Thursday, his father, Walter Koenig, told a news conference at the Vancouver Police Department that his son suffers from depression.

              Koenig, himself an actor who played the part of a Russian crew member on the original “Star Trek” TV series, implored the public to look out for his son.

                  • I'm just confused. Is he saying boner and frowning because of no acceptable way to take care of said boner?
                    And did he get the boner from this death? Questions abound.

                      • I skimmed over, and then forgot reading, about the Boner character. I didn't watch the show.

                        • Doing yourself in is definitely pulling a boner though.

                            I thought class was for RIP threads, not Dead Pool ones.
