Dead at your age

May 9th, 2009 SpiderFarmer No comments

From dead.atyourage.com, I’ve outlived:

D.H. Lawrence by about two weeks. He was a prolific author who wrote about the effects of modernity and is best known for his sensual novels. He died of tuberculosis on March 2, 1930. (Oddly enough, I’m rereading my D.H. Lawrence collection on Kindle right now.)

You’ve outlived Nicholas Rowe by three weeks. He was a playwright, translator, editor of William Shakespeare and Poet Laureate of 1715

Anton Chekhov was more than a month younger than you when he died of a heart attack on July 2, 1904. He was a Russian doctor whose short stories and plays influenced generations of later authors.

Well, goodness. I suppose I should finish my novels instead of having a midlife crisis then, hmmm?

Beware: Zombies Ahead

Texas Dept. of Transportation officials confirm a portable traffic sign at Lamar Boulevard and West 15th Street in Austin was hacked into last week.

Transportation officials in Texas are scrambling to prevent hackers from changing messages on digital road signs after one sign in Austin was altered to read, “Zombies Ahead.”

Chris Lippincott, director of media relations for the Texas Department of Transportation, confirmed that a portable traffic sign at Lamar Boulevard and West 15th Street, near the University of Texas at Austin, was hacked into during the early hours of Jan. 19.

“It was clever, kind of cute, but not what it was intended for,” said Lippincott, who saw the sign during his morning commute. “Those signs are deployed for a reason — to improve traffic conditions, let folks know there’s a road closure.”

“It’s sort of amusing, but not at all helpful,” he said.  Via my friend az2tx.

Bush ducks more than accountability

Shoes thrown at President Bush in Iraq. As America prepares to give him the boot, President Bush was forced to do some atypical sole searching during a press conference in Iraq when an Iraqi television reporter flung both shoes at him.

All dogs go to heaven. Well, at least the Catholic ones.

Yeah, I know it’s fake. It’s still funny.
