Monty Python's Terry Jones, age 77

Rest in peace, sir. Thanks for all the laughs.

Has there ever been anything that has ever come close to Monty Python's? I don't think so..::sad::

Agreed. My favorite movie of theirs is Holy Grail. So f'ing funny.

RIP Terry Jones

These guys aren't celebrities...but they're heroes.

3 firefighters from the US that were over here in Australia to help with the fire crisis went down as their C-130 Hercules tanker (fire retardant distribution) crashed in northern NSW earlier today.
They have been confirmed to have died on site.

We have had, really, an incredibly shitty month or so with these fires...it's really, at times been like some post apocalyptic shit going on...even New Zealand could smell and see the smoke at one point.
So many people have lost their homes, animals have died in catastrophic numbers, some residents have lost their lives, as well as some of our own firefighting crew and those from abroad who have volunteered their time and safety for us.

Just when it was thought to have eased off a bit...we have smoke back...


I am sorry that this has happened for you folks in the States.
Know that your countrymen the thanks of my family...I honour these people as part of our own.
Cheers.

I heard that on the news here this morning. Very sad for their families and friends. You're right, they ARE heroes!

I'm sorry that Australia is still dealing with the fires. Praying that they're put out very, very soon.

I don’t remember hearing this one on the news or reading it online, but, John Karlen passed away on January 22. He played Willie Loomis on Dark Shadows.

Kobe Bryant RIP

And his 13 year old daughter...::sad::

Just found out about this, earlier this morning.
Never really follow sports...but I'd seen the guy make a few appearances and do interviews etc.
He seemed pretty humble, not full of himself at all.

R.I.P to him, his little girl...and I guess whoever else was involved in the crash.
