Is Criss Angel dead?
Written on Thursday, September 25th 2008 at 8:41 am by alexAfter David Blaine's "dive of death", people are not wondering if Criss Angel is dead. Right now, we don't have a definitive yes or no answer, but chances are he's not dead.
Kurt Angle said "It blew my mind, my nerves were shot. I thought it was a stunt that definitely went wrong. I saw him chained; I saw him in the car and saw him go over (the edge). I thought 'Oh my god, this is a tragedy, something went wrong'."
"Illusion is what you see. Magic is what you feel," says Angel. "It's time to start thinking outside the box and let the art of magic live on in real life. I hope to be engaging my audiences by having them ask themselves... What is real and what is illusion?"
Keep in mind, there have been rumors floating around recently that a number of different celebrities might be dead. Most people DO NOT think Criss Angel is dead. "Having spent time with Criss and Sully the previous day, I felt absolutely terrible. After I knew he was okay, I absolutely wanted to knock him out for making me feel so bad".

Today is National Punctuation Day
Written on Wednesday, September 24th 2008 at 11:25 am by alexToday is the 5th anniversary of National Punctuation Day. This day came to being in 2004. The man behind it is the "chief of the punctuation police" Jeff Rubin, a former journalist.
This day is described as "a celebration of the lowly comma, correctly used quotes, and other proper uses of periods, semicolons, and the ever-mysterious ellipsis".
Today is also a day to remind business people that poor punctuation can cost your business millions of dollars. Rogers Communications, for example, one of Canada's largest telecommunications companies, learned the hard way just how important proper punctuation could be, when an attorney misplaced a comma in a contract with a company that agreed to lay Rogers's cables across the Maritimes. A Canadian court said ignorance of correct punctuation was no excuse and invalidated what was believed to be an ironclad five-year contract. That errant squiggle alone cost Rogers $2.13 million.
It's a great day for librarians, educators, and parents ' people who are interested in teaching and promoting good writing skills to their students and their children. It's also a day to remind business people that they are often judged by how they present themselves, and punctuation counts.
