Mickey's suicidal tendancies.

Everyone has dark moments. In my life I have had my share of deep black horror and alienation. I constantly live with thoughts of death. Failure at goals takes a big toll on the self. I get rejected by women, lose out on a job, live in abject poverty. Yes, I have dark moments.
Appareantly so does Mickey Mouse....
One thing of note. I haven't had woodland creatures come and make shit ok for me. So yes...fuck you nature. Fuck you and your cuteness.
Next up superhero gay porn and my reaction to it. And of course the impending Spider-man shake up...of which i'll say...Mary Jane shouldn't die. It's too cliche at this point.

Mr. Wizard has left the building.


TV's 'Mr. Wizard' dead at 89
June 13, 2007

LOS ANGELES -- Don Herbert, who as television's ''Mr. Wizard'' introduced generations of young viewers to the joys of science, died Tuesday. He was 89.

Herbert, who had bone cancer, died at his suburban Bell Canyon home, said his son-in-law, Tom Nikosey.
''He really taught kids how to use the thinking skills of a scientist,'' said former colleague Steve Jacobs. He worked with Herbert on a 1980s show that echoed the original 1950s ''Watch Mr. Wizard'' series, which became a fond baby boomer memory.

In ''Watch Mr. Wizard,'' which was produced from 1951 to 1964 and received a Peabody Award in 1954, Herbert turned TV into an entertaining classroom. On a simple, workshop-like set, he demonstrated experiments using household items.

''He modeled how to predict and measure and analyze. ... The show today might seem slow but it was in-depth and forced you to think along,'' Jacobs said. ''You were learning about the forces of nature.''

Herbert encouraged children to duplicate experiments at home, said Jacobs, who recounted serving as a behind-the-scenes ''science sidekick'' to Herbert on the '80s ''Mr. Wizard's World'' that aired on the Nickelodeon channel.

When Jacobs would reach for beakers and flasks, Herbert would remind him that science didn't require special tools.

'''You could use a mayonnaise jar for that,''' Jacobs recalled being chided by Herbert. ''He tried to bust the image of scientists and that science wasn't just for special people and places.''
Herbert's place in TV history was acknowledged by later stars. When ''Late Night with David Letterman'' debuted in 1982, Herbert was among the first-night guests.

Born in Waconia, Minn., Herbert was a 1940 graduate of LaCrosse State Teachers College and served as a U.S. Army Air Corps pilot during World War II. He worked as an actor, model and radio writer before starting ''Watch Mr. Wizard'' in Chicago on NBC.

The show moved to New York after several years.

He is survived by six children and stepchildren and by his second wife, Norma, his son-in-law said. A private funeral service was planned. AP

Growing up he was the fucking man. Forcing me to learn the metric system as I wasn't exactly canadian so I couls participate in his wonderous experiments. Like my cool grandfather figure who every weekday would show me how to take 3 decaliters of something and make it blow up and a billion new uses for tin foil. He will be dearly missed in this little cave. Even dead he still kicks your ass Bill Nye the science guy...stop trying.
