So while almost asleep the other night I heard on the NPR newsbrief (I like to fall asleep to classical music), the words "yankovic" and "found dead" – naturally I assumed that Weird Al had died. But it ended up that it was his parents, not him. They died from carbon monoxide poisoning from not having opened the flue on their fireplace. Anyway, I'm glad Weird Al's not dead, but I hate it for him. So keep Al and his family in your prayers.

The same thing happened to me. I was fading in and out of sleep waiting for Letterman when a 'SPECIAL NEWS BRIEF' came flashing across the screen. It started off by saying, "tragic news for the Yankovic family..." Oh, I was upset...then I heard the rest of the story.
