WRESTLER CHRIS BENOIT KILLS FAMILY AND HIMSELF



I haven't watched professional wrestling on a regular basis since "The Rock" left the WWE, but the death of pro wrestler Chris Benoit was pretty shocking.

When I first heard he was dead, my immediate assumption was that he died of some type of drug overdose, as many wrestlers before him had.

Then I heard his wife and son were also dead leading me to suspect that the three died from some form of carbon monoxide poisoning...

Then came word that murder-suicide was suspected..
Police suspect that Benoit killed his wife and kid over the weekend and them himself sometime on Monday.

UPDATE: Benoit allegedly strangled wife to death, smothered his son to death, and later hung himself.

TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED SERIES-2008


While moviegoers anxiously await the live-action release of the new "Transfomers" movie, the Cartoon Network and Hasbro are teaming up to produce a new animated "Transformer" series.
The new series is expected to debut in January 2008.

I must admit, I was never in to the old 1980's series or even the "Thundercats" and "G.I. Joe". I was more of a "He-Man", "Alvin & The Chipmunks" and "Dennis The Menace" fan.

Sorry folks.

UPDATED: Damn right, I watched the "Muppet Babies". Everyone loves Nanny!
