It's funny how quickly things get picked up and get spread without a word of truth in them.
The latest appears to be reports that Bill Cosby has died.
Wait! Don't panic. It's not true! It's not true!
On his website, Cosby put up a statement (and in typical Cosby humor). By the way, putting out a statement is one thing dead people don't do.
Here's the text of the statement:
"About 10 hours ago, an Internet hoax started that said Bill Cosby is dead. The announcement of me being dead may be a VIRUS.
"And now ladies and gentlemen for my rebuttal:
"As you well know, a dead person cannot rebuttal. Therefore, I am rebuttaling to tell you that when I heard the news I immediately began rebuttaling and went into denial. My wife has just informed me that there is no such word as rebuttaling, she says the word is rebutting. But I don't care, because I'm alive!
"Thank you.
"PS. That's another thing dead people don't say."
It's great to hear that Cosby, who's been in so many superb shows from "I Spy," to "The Bill Cosby Show" to "Cosby" (all of which have been released on DVD, by the way) is still with us. And it's refreshing to read his statement and see his reaction.
Thanks, Bill.
By the way, he's scheduled to play the Bushnell Center in Connecticut in March.

And of course Steve, let's not leave out Cosby's Fat Albert cartoon show, that was one Saturday morning cartoon I used to enjoy watching along with Bugs Bunny back in the early-to-mid 70's, I trust you watched it as well along with many other readers.
Freis968: Yes, I did. Funny funny show.
