I'm not trying to make a joke here, but hundreds/thousands of people on twitter/facebook have been saying "RIP, Lance Armstrong" Twitter always kills off celebs.. especially those who are in the news recently for something. To my knowledge there has been no confirmation of his death. They are probably doing what they always do.. Unless one of the major networks/AP or Reuter confirms it.. it's just Twitter being twitter. Lord know Justin Beiber has been killed in Twitter at least once a month for the past few years. It's not exactly a fake death, it's people mixing up their armstrongs. Guess some people arn't smart enough to know the difference.

Since no one else has put it down, RIP Jerry Nelson.
He died a week ago at the age of 78 from complications of various cancers and respiratory illnesses.
If you are wondering who he is, he was, until his death, the voice of Count von Count on Sesame Street.

Different sort of celeb, but motivational speaker Zig Ziglar died a couple of days ago from pneumonia.

Yeah, Roger Ebert died this afternoon. Pretty surprised, I knew he was in bad health but I didn't know it was fatal. Such a shame.

Another from my childhood.. Jonathan Winters. Dang it, that's the third time this week you've beaten me to it! Seriously, though, this is a sad moment for comedy.

Wow. Just this afternoon I was watching an episode of "The New Scooby Doo Movies" where they met Jonathon Winters. The irony. I had no idea he'd died.
