I've often wished someone would send Phil Collins into space, but I never thought they would actually do it!

Well played, Nasa!

Thanks to the Gruts reader (you know who you are), who reminded me that I had forgotten to draw your attention to this:

Darwin meets Bowie: what's not to like? Apart from Phil Collins on drums, I mean.

Dearth of deaths

Posted on 01-Jul-2007 by Richard Carter

I've just realised that it has been almost two months since I added anyone to my list of toasts for 2007. Have I had my head buried in the sand, or has nobody worth toasting died recently?

A major celebrity recently.

I just checked out the deaths for June 2007 on Wikipedia, and the only one I'd heard of was Bernard Manning—which rather proves my point.

I'm not actually wishing anyone any ill-will, you understand, but it seems to me that a major celebrity death is long overdue.

Remember, you heard it here first.
