Which is odd, because her character in that film would have been a great porn name - Truly Scrumptious.

Author Joan Didion just died today at the age of 87. She had Parkinsons, and from what I've read of her work, I think it's safe to assume she led a full life, even if that life did include seeing her husband and only child dying in the span of two years.

Funny thing is I actually had a collection of her work from the 1960s and 1970s on my Christmas List. I don't know if Dad bought it, and when I trawled the Barnes and Noble that was closing so I could find a great deal, I couldn't find a copy there. Part of me wants to buy a copy in remembrance, and the rest of me knows that I'll have a lot in my queue after that.

Being a tinkerer and inventive type, I absolutely loved that movie as a child.

Ah, yes, the guy behind all those video games

[Image: madden-football-game-73760.jpg]
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

How does someone pass away 'unexpectedly' at the age of 85?

It would make more sense to say, ‘John Madden unexpectedly alive at 85.’
