One of the phenomenons of audio and video recording, which in the grand scale of time is a very recent invention, is the explosion of celebrities. We're very aware of the progression of time now, as it's often marked by the passing of someone of notoriety.

It's also strange that in the years from 20 to 40, you go from invincible to dreadful. I wonder what 40 to 60 is like? I suppose, if I'm lucky, I'll find out.

It's just about time for some clever scientist to find the cure for aging... or at least put a stop to it. I'd be perfectly content to stay at 42.

In another not-so-famous passing, John Travolta's son Jett has passed. Apparently he suffered a seizure, fell and hit his head causing his death.

Also, apparently, Travolta, being a member of the Super Adventure Club, did not allow his son to be treated with anti-seizure meds.

Essentially.. Travolta killed his own son because he belongs to a religious cult that believes in made-up bullshit.

I suppose, if one were to be cruel, we could simply chalk it up to natural selection.
