Marcel Marceau, who revived the art of mime and brought poetry to silence, has died, his former assistant said Sunday. He was 84.A French Jew, Marceau survived the Holocaust - and also worked with the French Resistance to protect Jewish children.
His biggest inspiration was Charlie Chaplin. Marceau, in turn, inspired countless young performers - Michael Jackson borrowed his famous "moonwalk" from a Marceau sketch, "Walking Against the Wind."

Here's one for you conspiracy theorists to ponder: Was newspaper columnist Dorothy Kilgallen murdered? Famous for her role as a permanent panelist on What's My Line and for her entertainment and gossip column in the New York Journal American, Kilgallen often covered major news events. She reported on the Sam Sheppard murder trial and the Lindbergh kidnapping case, among others. She also expressed serious doubts about the Warren Commission's investigation of JFK's murder. Kilgallen interviewed Jack Ruby in prison shortly before her death on November 8, 1965--just hours after she had appeared live and quite chipper on What's My Line. Kilgallen was found dead in her Manhattan home, fully clothed on a bed in which she did not sleep. A book she had finished reading months ago was near her. Although alcohol and barbituates were found in her blood stream, Kilgallen's official cause of death was listed as undetermined. The coroner who did the paperwork was responsible for autopsies in Brooklyn--not Manhattan. Kilgallen's notes from her interview with Jack Ruby were never found--leading conspiracy theorists to wonder whether she had ben silenced.

1967, Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot perfom "Bonnie and Clyde".
They both look so cool
Music and lyrics written by Serge Gainsbourg:
translated here:
You’ve read the story
Of Jesse James
How he lived
How he died
You liked that, didn’t you?
Yet you still ask for more
And well,
Listen to the story
Of Bonnie and Clyde
Then here it is,
Clyde has a girlfriend
She’s beautiful, her first name
Is Bonnie
And the two of them form
The Barrow gang
Their names
Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow
Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde
When I knew Clyde
Before all that
He was a loyal guy
Honest and right
You’ve got to believe
That it’s society
Which definitely ruined him
Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde
All the things that they wrote
About her and me
They claim we kill
In cold blood
It’s not funny
But we really have
To silence
The one that starts to scream
Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde
Every time a policeman
Gets killed
Or a garage or a bank
Is attacked
For the police
It’s not a mystery
Signed, Clyde Barrow
Bonnie Parker
Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde
Now every time
We try to rest
To get comfortable
In an apartment
Within three days
The tac tac tac's back
The machine guns
Return to the attack
Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde
One of these days
We will fall together
And I don’t care
It’s for Bonnie that I tremble
It doesn’t matter
If they get my skin (kill me)
Me Bonnie
I tremble for Clyde Barrow
Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde
Anyway
They couldn’t have stayed longer
The only solution
Was to die
But more than one followed them
Into hell
When they died
Barrow and Bonnie Parker
Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

Hello Folks,
I posted this earlier to one of Jimmy Jet's postings. I wasn't sure if all of you have seen it, so here is my tribute to Bruce, aka Jimmy Jet. I'm posting a picture of his favorite toy. The Jimmy Jet toy is that big blue toy sitting on top of a box.
Hello All,It has been a while since I've been on here and I come with some bad news. Jimmy Jet whose real name is Bruce, passed away on June 29, 2008 and now is in the arms of the Lord. Bruce became a penpal of mine after I bought a few items from him on ebay. We both had an interest in old Toys and Jimmy Jet was one of his favorite toys! His parts helped complete my Jimmy Jet and I will truly miss him. I urged him to sign up on this site and he commented many times how much he liked it. He was an avid aviation buff and now he can freely fly the friendly skies of heaven! Rest in Peace Bruce, you will be missed.

November 11 is Remembrance Day in Canada. It is the anniversary of the date in 1918 when the Armistice was signed that ended the First World War. It is a solemn occasion. It is customary for Canadians to pause for two minutes at 11 a.m. to remember those who died in the two world wars, in Korea, and in later conflicts. This video is based on a true incident observed by singer/songwriter Terry Kelly on November 11, 1999. He was in a Nova Scotia drug store that morning. At 11 a.m. everyone in the store paused for two minutes of silence--except for one oblivious man who had a young daughter with him. Kelly channelled his anger into this touching song, A Pittance of Time.
