In a year of slow celebrity deaths, this obit is mildly interesting, if only for the cause of death (suicide by cutting your own throat? Arent wrists easier?) and the Gilbert Gottfried reference. I dont actually know who the guy was.

Also, I would like to stop receiving mail. After not getting my mail for two weeks, I opened the box to find a zillion catalogs, circulars, a valu-pak (cute spelling, non?), about twenty or so credit card offers, some Macy's discount, and something about a college reunion. The US mail is obsolete. I can get my bills done electronically. my invites from Evite and my Festivus cards and formal invites at the office. How do I sign off from receiving mail?
