Oscar-nominated actor David Carradine, best known for his leading role of Kwai Chang Caine on TV's Kung Fu in the 1970s, died Wednesday in Bangkok, where he was shooting a film, his manager confirmed Thursday. The star was 72.


CNN is reporting he was found hanged (hung?) in his hotel closet by a nylon rope made from the room's curtains. No sign of forced entry. Is it too inappropriate to make a 'forced entry' joke here?

I believe hanged is correct in this context.

Maybe they should make a new reality show called "Hangin' with Mr. Carradine." FYI, Oscar was not there. He does not travel to Asia for safety reasons.

Oscar can't quelch my freedom of speech


Texan accused of cursing about cat feces acquitted

TEXAS CITY, Texas — A Texas City man accused of using a curse word to describe what cats left behind in his yard has been acquitted of disorderly conduct.

A municipal jury found 48-year-old Joseph Loflin not guilty.

Police on Feb. 8 cited Loflin over his conversation on a street with a neighbor and the man's 13-year-old daughter.

The Galveston County Daily News reported Thursday that Loflin allegedly used a vulgar term for feces three times when talking about their cats messing in his yard.

Loflin says he never meant to incite Michael Rainey or his daughter.

But Rainey says a "little piece of America died" when a jury says it's OK to curse in front of a 13-year-old "when asked not to."

Juror John-Paul Caro says lack of evidence and additional witnesses prompted Tuesday's acquittal.

It would have been a much more entertaining story if he had resorted to the trash-apult in stead of the court system.

"Hanged" is indeed correct in this context.

See I would have figured as long as the horse was sober it was okay. Can you even drive a hovercraft drunk?
