Well he's going to a better place. One where he can see Jerry play 24/7.

"Why on earth he was heating a lava lamp on the stove, we don't know," Kent Police spokesman Paul Petersen said Monday.

Lava lamps don't kill people, people kill people.

how much do you wanna bet he had put the thing in the freezer for about a half hour and then decided to "defrost" it on the stove?

I think that was the one that exploded in the microwave. Different bloke altogether.

Why am I not surprised that this happened in Kent? I'm reminded of the terrible comedy variety show from Seattle, "Almost Live," which coined the term "to Kentificate." It means "to lay on the hood of your Camaro, drinking beer."

I hit 'enter' before I was finished giving you rep--I meant to say that "In heaven, 'Dark Star' goes on forever."

I resent that. Just because I spent hours staring at fish doesn't mean I was tripping when I bought the fish tank.
