Damn. Brain aneurysms are terrifying. You're perfectly fine one day and then, gone.

Yeah, I checked to see if anybody had posted immediately before I hit the button.
Damn, that's horrible. I saw it on the Star Trek Continues Facebook page. He played Sulu on the fan-made imagining of the continuation of the original series. |

Well, damn. That sucks. I remember watching him on Robot Wars a long time ago (Before the Robot wars reboot a couple years back). He was awesome on Mythbusters as well.

I gave up on the news years ago. The news only exists to bring you BAD news. It's bad enough with the usual top storylines of local rapes, murders, fires, shootings, et cetera... now, on top of that, we get nothing but horrible political fighting, COVID-19, and the occasional spate of dead famous people (like the past few days, with the chick from "Glee", Travolta's wife, and now Grant). I figure, between this place, Facebook, and Instagram, I already find out enough bad news quickly enough...
Speaking of COVID, I know they're starting to realize this thing does some weird shit (lung issues, vein issues, strokes). Who knows, maybe he had it and was asymptomatic. At this point, anything short of a bullet I'm attributing to coronavirus... |
