I'm hearing rumors that Christopher Reeve died.
It's in LBN, apparently Drudge is reporting.

If this is true, it is a very, very sad day.

14. If Drudge said it, it's probably false.
In this case, I really hope it is . . .

13. And remember Laura's 'reason' to not support the research?
Why get people's hopes up, it might not work...geez.

4. Please don't say it's so - he was so optimistic!
I hate hearing about strong optimistic people who bite the dust - it's like me dying.

7. Let's not talk about the opportunity for political gain yet
It's a sad day. Reeve was Superman to an entire generation, and as strong in real life as his character was in the movies. It's a shame he was taken from us too soon.

R.I.P., Superman. You will be missed.

8. I'm with you.
This was the Man of Steel- truly. Let's give him the respect that he deserves.
