VSBfromH 74 Posted June 30, 2009 To save the main thread from getting clogged up, I thought I'd start a thread for all those (mostly silly) rumours like the recent "Jeff Goldblum falls off a cliff in New Zealand" one. Latest is Rick Astley found dead in Berlin Hotel room Fer chrissake! They'll be claiming Michael Jackson's dead next! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BCAlum2000 42 Posted June 30, 2009 To save the main thread from getting clogged up, I thought I'd start a thread for all those (mostly silly) rumours like the recent "Jeff Goldblum falls off a cliff in New Zealand" one. Latest is Rick Astley found dead in Berlin Hotel room Fer chrissake! They'll be claiming Michael Jackson's dead next! I've seen quite a bit of those myself. If you've read my previous postings (particularly on the media and celebrity illnesses and exploitation of our obsession with celebrity illnesses and death, yada, yada, yada), you should guess where I stand on this issue. But I have to say that when I read news on Jeff Goldblum's death, I actually thought it was hilarious. Luckily he's still alive and kickin'. Anyway, I've recently read rumors that the following celebrities died: Weird Al Yankovic apparently died of food poisoning. Probably was eating the same 12-year-old nuts as MJ had (even though I have nothing but respect for the guy, I still reserve the right to crack jokes). Gwyneth Paltrow allegedly died in a plane crash. Britney Spears apparently died, but that's b/c someone hacked into her twitter account (she's still alive, folks). Patrick Swayze has finally succumb to cancer. Probably won't be a rumor for long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lard Bazaar 3,809 Posted June 30, 2009 I heard a rumour that BC Alum posted something interesting, and that Banshees has never had a w'ank in his entire life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monoclinic 39 Posted June 30, 2009 I heard a rumour that BC Alum posted something interesting, and that Banshees has never had a w'ank in his entire life. Technical question for the lads to ponder. Is it at all possible to pull one off whilst confined within a straitjacket? Typing I imagine was carried out by some kind of microplunger device strapped to the forehead. This would therefore account for the frequency of typos such as their in place of they're thus avoiding the tricky two key shift + apostrophe manoeuvre. However attacking the one eyed tiger prawn shrimp whilst dressed as a failed escape artist, surely not possible? Apologies to anyone intent on eating sausage for tea.

Ageless Immortal Giant 2 Posted July 1, 2009 Rick Astley is obviously not dead. It's another prank being pulled by Anonymous, no doubt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunjaman5000 32 Posted July 2, 2009 Rick Astley is obviously not dead. It's another prank being pulled by Anonymous, no doubt. I watched the video by 'Anonymous' (on their Wiki page) a few years ago on You Tube and thought that those Scientologists can't be all that clever. It's obviously Stephen Hawking.

Lewd_Squirrel 331 Posted July 5, 2009 Another rumor I heard about a month & a half ago was that Natalie Portman died, by falling while filming a movie. But as I looked into, it was just a rumor, & she's still alive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And they're bloody annoying. You go to bed in the dark, and they leave you alone, but as soon as you put the bedside lamp on to have a nice relaxing read, wham, they're flying around your head! I'm afraid moths get the same treatment as spiders in my house, my size 6 boot and a headache. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magere Hein 1,400 Posted December 13, 2009 Moths are vile creatures, almost as bad as slugs I wouldn't know about slugs, but moths are vile indeed. A few years ago they invaded my wardrobe. All-out chemical warfare dispatched the enemy in a matter of hours, but my best suit looked like a city after a Luftwaffe air raid. I'm afraid moths get the same treatment as spiders in my house, my size 6 boot and a headache. A short headache, I presume. regards, Hein 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
