First it was Michael Jackson, now Billy Mays is also dead...

What's even odder is that they were both aged 50.

Nothin' much is happening with them, well apart from my assasinating them of course ;)

There's nothing remotely odd about that. It's bound to happen occasionally.

If you add in Ed McMahon and Farrah Fawcett there may be, but given that I've only heard of one of the four I'm still not that overwhelmed.

Not watched anything but iPlayer and films for about a year, though.

Also, Farrah Fawcett (American Actor) died the morning that MJ died, and Ed McMahonn (Narrator for the Johnny Carson Show) Died earlier this week, and then, yesterday Ted Chavalena (Vegas showhost, "Man of 1000 faces" impressionist) died.

Tribute to Michael Jackson

It's a conspiracy. They've all gone to live in the mountains with Osama.

Thriller was a great video.

He probably looks a bit like he did in that video by now.

Maybe. I'm not sure how much of him is still biodegradable.

Perhaps that's the reason why his corpse hasn't been buried.
He hasn't been cremated either.
They really were transporting him to the local hazardous waste disposal site.

Or maybe they shipped him to Silicon Valley to recycle him for new computer chips.
The next line of Intel chips will be called "Jacko inside".

I'm not sure the tech-savvy kiddies should be saying "I've got Jacko inside", though.

Might sound pretty crazy to say this, but I think that because famous people are still people, therefore mortals, the're are about 100% of chances that someday they'll all die
The short time between the deaths, only indicates that too many people are considered celebrities, lately
