Reassurance and incipient disaster

I just read that Mary-Kate Olsen said she had nothing to do with Heath Ledger's death. I just wanted to make one thing clear: neither did I. I presume from the context that they had some kind of relationship, but lacking the necessary background to know that, it seemed like the most random bit of quotery I can recall seeing recently. It reminds me of Chevy Chase on the original Saturday Night Live Weekend Update. "this just in, Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead." Same goes for Heath Ledger, may he rest in peace (though I highly doubt that will happen).

I also just saw that they found over 100,000 gorilla's living in a "gorilla paradise" in the Republic of Congo. To quote the great philosopher Don Henley, you call someplace paradise, kiss it goodbye.
