BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. - A collaborator on the children’s book series Curious George has been found dead on the driveway of his mobile home in Florida.

Police say Allen Shalleck’s body was covered in black garbage bags. Neighbors had passed by for a least a day, thinking it was just trash.

*Anybody know were Rove has been the past couple of days?*

4. I didn't know there *was* a movie until I read this article...

One of those "Hmm" things.

9. New Music by Jack Johnson

(sits back waiting for the completely unpredictable DU opinions on JAck Johnson)

10. That is a very interesting factoid...

Although, it does nothing about solving the current mystery.

6. Sad.

Wonder if there is a jealous or slighted co-worker/acquaintance not happy about the movie.

Gruesome...."blood all over the place".

Poor guy.

8. I suppose it could've been a lurking home robber...

waiting for him to take his garbage out.

Don't know, there aren't many details in the article.

It's a shame.

7. I thought they were already dead..

but I see this is a later collaborator. The Reys have been dead for some time.

12. MSNBC.com just now updated to call him an "editor".

But, my search showed he also co-wrote several of the books with the Reys.

13. wow.

14. Says a lot about people... they better not be environmentalists.

"Oh, look honey, it's just trash. It'll take care of itself. Let's go back home and watch some wholesome FOX comedy television."

THAT is what our "society" has degenerated into.
