I wonder if we will find out in this weeks episode who is part of the Oceanic Six that got off the Island. We know Jack, Kate, Hurley and Jin (because in the episode flashing in the future we saw Jin buying a stuffed animal - I would figure it would be for his child...maybe not???) I also think Sun and Sayid...but who knows. All we know 100% is Jack, Kate and Hurley since we saw them last week in "the real world." Lost is such a nail biter. Jacob's house just creeps me out. Maybe Jacob is real and the house is somehow booby - trapped with cameras and people viewing the visitors. When visitors come to the house the people who set up the house watch and manipulate things in the house with some sort of wireless remotes. Who was in the coffin???? Could it be Ben? He had no family that knew of him since he lived on the island since birth. Since no one came to the funeral I would assume it would be him. If no one attended the funeral, my question would be who made the funeral ar
Heath Ledger's family will hold a private funeral in his hometown of Perth before he is laid to rest at Karakatta Cemetery in the family plot. A source has revealed that Ledger's parents, Kim and Sally, have declined an offer from his former high school, Guildford Grammar, to hold a public memorial service in its chapel, reports News.com.au. However, the school's chapel might still be used if the Ledger family opts for a public memorial service in the future. Guildford Grammar's director of community relations, Graeme Plumber, said that the school understood why the actor’s family took the decision of holding a private funeral. The school thought that his family probably wanted ‘the dignity of a very private funeral after all the publicity’ surrounding his death. It is unclear whether Ledger's ex-fiance Michelle Williams and their daughter Matilda will fly to Perth for the funeral. Ledger's ‘Brokeback Mountain’ co
For most of life’s big events, we send out invitations. “You are cordially invited to the wedding of Bill and Hillary….” and the like. But for funerals, people send announcements instead of invitations. Well I don’t know about you, but I don’t want just anybody coming to my funeral! Do I really want my boss [...]
By Andrew Cawthorne and Nick Tattersall NAIROBI (Reuters) - Police fired teargas to disperse stone-throwing youths outside an opposition funeral on Wednesday while former U.N. boss Kofi Annan tried to negotiate an end to Kenya's bloody political crisis. Several teargas canisters landed in the large football field in Nairobi where coffins were laid out and opposition leader Raila Odinga was winding up an oration for 28 slum-dwellers he said were shot by police. Pro-opposition youths then set fire to a nearby post office. "This is a war between the people of Kenya and a small clique of very bloodthirsty people who want to cling on to power at all costs," Odinga told the crowd of mourners as violence was erupting on a road outside. "Let us stand as one people to liberate our country." The latest trouble came as Annan began talks to resolve a post-election stalemate that threatens to wreck the east African nation's image as a stable democracy. Annan hel
By Andrew Cawthorne and George Obulutsa NAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenyan police fired teargas to disperse stone-throwing youths at a funeral on Wednesday held by the opposition for slum residents killed in a crackdown on protests against President Mwai Kibaki's disputed election. Several teargas canisters landed in the large football field in Nairobi where coffins were laid out and opposition leader Raila Odinga was winding up his oration. "This is a war between the people of Kenya and a small clique of very blood-thirsty people who want to cling on to power at all costs," Odinga told the crowd of mourners as violence was erupting on a road outside. "Let us stand as one people to liberate our country." The latest trouble came as former U.N. chief Kofi Annan was to begin talks with Kibaki and Odinga to resolve a bloody stalemate that threatens to wreck the east African nation's image as a stable democracy and flourishing economy.

Is anyone surprised by this? Not me. If they picketed Mister Roger's funeral and US service members' funerals, then I guess that this isn't a surprise. These folks are so far beyond the pale that even right wing whack jobs...
The absence of any member of the royal family at Sir Ed Hillary's funeral on Tuesday has been labelled by some as a snub to one of the great heroes of the British Empire. Sir Ed's successful ascent of Mt Everest in 1953 was heralded as a triumph for Britain. The announcement of the success of the British-led expedition was delayed four days to coincide with the coronation of the Queen on June 2. Prime Minister Helen Clark confirmed yesterday that she and Governor-General Anand Satyanand would represent the Queen "both officially and personally" at the funeral of Sir Ed, one of only 24 Knights of the Garter appointed by the monarch. The Queen has offered the Hillary family a memorial service at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, on a date in April yet to be determined. A spokeswoman for Miss Clark's office was quoted by The Dominion newspaper as saying that Lady Hillary was closely involved in the planning of the funeral and that she was happy with the arrangements. The Queen
First of all let me wish Happy New Year and all the best for the future to our reader(s). We haven't abandoned this site but the Xmas vacation gave us an awesome opportunity to have a break from many things including blogging and thinking about the stupidity around us. Of course, the latter was not that easy because even if I wanted to relax with a nice cup of coffee (or frape) under the Greek sun overlooking the Parthenon, stupidity and bigotry were surrounding me. After all, these traits are universal and they know no boundaries.

At least these crazies are going to have to pay for their offense...From msnbc:A grieving father won a nearly $11 million verdict against a fundamentalist church that pickets military funerals out of a belief that the war in Iraq is a punishment for America's tolerance of homosexuality.Albert Snyder sued the Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church for unspecified damages after members demonstrated at the March 2006 funeral of his son, Marine Lance Cpl.

If you have never heard of the Westboro Baptist church, I will fill you in on who these scumbags are. This is a group of people who claim to be Christians that go around and protest at funerals for our soldiers who were killed in action. These bastards believe that the reason our soldiers die in [...]
Throughout the ages, people have surrounded death with rites and rituals. They serve a purpose in that it helps those who are shocked, sad, confused, and devastated to 1. get things done without having to make decisions, and 2. face the finality of the loss. The proscribed way of doing it also helps us to avoid deep thinking about death ahead of time. But why should we be too concerned about our own funeral, since we won’t be able to change anything once it’s a done deal? I saw a bumper sticker that said “Live so that the minister won’t have to lie at your funeral.” That’s a bit trite, but you get the idea. All we can change is our lives; we can’t do anything about death once our time comes, so we may as well laugh about it every now and then. Fun with video effects: The Grim Reaper.
