The idea is to have gentle reader figure out the dead celebrities in order to generate content. Simple death notices are boring.

I suspect this is a fake Aaedvark posting:
(1) Translation: We expect people to be mind readers.
(2) Message fails to have pithy end comment like Jack Lord's "Book 'em, Danno" frrom the 1970's Hawaii Five-0 or Horatio Caine's snarky comment about the recent death before pulling his sunglasses off in CSI Miami.

Would have been more believable as a real Aardvark post with a telegraphed quote at the end, something like

I was posting from my Android phone, one letter at a time, which I believe you know is painful at best. I didn't post a sig because it would have taken twice as long. Sometimes the simple answers are the best.

I wish I had seen this earlier, like when it happened, as I find it so delicious.



Fred Phelps, King of the Homophobes and founder of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas** died March 19, 2014. He was 84.

** You know, the people who go out and picket the funerals of soldiers, carrying signs saying they died because of this country's support of homosexuals. Gee, I wonder if this has anything to do with why Phelps died.

Because it couldn't have anything to do with the fact that he was 84, right? Unfortunately even deranged cult leaders and sociopathic religious zealots get to live to a ripe old age while some of the coolest, nicest and sanest people were cut down in or even way before their prime. Imagine the kind of world we might have if nature somehow selected for the best people to survive and thrive while the worst failed to make it to breeding age.

Lenny B. Robinson, of Maryland, became famous when his traffic stop for having no rear plate, showing him in a black Lamboghini styled as the Batmobile, and him in a full-body Batman costume, became a viral video on YouTube.

Robinson, who was 51, was struck and killed on Interstate 70 near Hagerstown, Maryland when his car broke down in the fast lane. Robinson, known as the Route 29 Batman, spent his free time entertaining sick children in hospitals, was returning from an event in West Virginia when he was trying to diagnose the problem in his car and was struck by another motorist.

Yvonne Craig wasn't just Batgirl, she also was the green-skinned alien chick Marta, who wanted to kill Captain Kirk in Star Trek TOS.

How is she 'sposed to fight crime in heels? Remember Hally Berry being Catwoman in open toes? Hmmph.

Anyway, safe home, batgirl.
