1. HE died from asphyxiation.

He choked to death on his own vomit, in bed. It was not an overdose.

3. No, you're thinking of Yul Brenner.

Remember those PSAs he did? "Hi, I'm Yul Brenner. Now that I'm dead, don't eat ham."

10. A common error. I always thought Yul Brenner and Malcolm Jamal Warner

were the same person.

But MJW died in a blimp accident, right? Am I thinking of the right guy?

12. Um, the victims of the blimp accident, if memory serves,

were Bobby Kimball of Toto and Razzle of Hanoi Rocks. Little known fact about that: polka legend Li'l Wally Jagiello was the pilot.

13. NOT King Usneiweintz, The Polka Potentate of Oak Park?

Wow. I'm going to have to re-write my thesis paper about this incident. DMAN!

Anyway, it wasn't a blimp, it was Charles Durning's colostomy bag.

14. You've made a common mistake:

King Usneiweintz never actually piloted Charles Durning's colostomy bag. Rather, it was famously remarked that "King Usneiweintz was about as smart as Charles Durning's colostomy bag." The remark is typically attributed to master accordionist Jerry Darlak, but was in fact made by George Staiduhar, of George Staiduhar and the Harry Faint Revue, who nimbly covered Usneiweintz' "Oberek for the Pulchritudinous Lass Fanning Me with a Very Large Palm Frond" on their cyber-polka classic LP "Y2K Polkas."

25. You know what's the worst part about wearing a colostomy bag?

Finding shoes to match.

16. Malcom Jamal Warner

is alive and doing sitcoms. I suppose that's as good as death, though.

I don't understand.

19. Jimi Hendrix: The Last 24 Hours : Interesting documentary

about Jimi Hendrix life and death..

http://www.dvdempire.com/exec/v4_item.asp?userid=99364096220383&item_id=636221

Offstage Jimi Hendrix was shy and reserved, but onstage he became a towering genius, whose performances and guitar mastery sparked a revolution in both music and fashion.

Jimi was just 27 when he died. His death was never easily explained and to this day mystery still surrounds the death of one of the world's greatest rock legends. Here,in Jimi Hendrix -The Last 24 Hours the producers explore and explain the reasons why Jimi's demise became shrouded in rumor, gossip and falsehoods.

The authorities and media quickly dismissed the death of Hendrix as just another drugged rock star casualty; however for the first time, the circumstances leading to Jimi's tragic death can be examined as the producers present new and compelling evidence. Evidence, which may reopen the inquiry into what may have been for certain parties, a convenient death. Viewers will have to decide for themselves just what happened on September 18th 1970 in a small, private hotel situated in the Notting Hill area of London
