http://www.popcrunch.com/patrick-swayze-dead/

Despite a report from KISS-FM radio station in Florida claiming that actor Patrick Swayze died early Tuesday, reps for the cancer-stricken star say he is alive and well, blasting the death claims as “categorically false.”

“This is to confirm that Patrick Swayze did not pass away this morning contrary to severely reckless reports stemming from a radio station in Jacksonville, Florida. Patrick Swayze is alive, well and is enjoying his life and he continues to respond to treatment,” the actor’s rep said in a statement this afternoon.

The Dirty Dancing star, who also starred in the critically-acclaimed 1990 film Ghost, has been undergoing treatment for pancreatic cancer since March 2008.

Nothing like a nice, lazy Sunday, watching classic "Star Trek" reruns.

One of my 486 machines had a case that tall and it was completely justified. The mobo was freaking HUGE. The damn VLB video card was about as long as my laptop is wide.

That's awesome! The idea of bike with a skull and lightning flag acting as a personal transport straight to the hotseat is just too funny.

I saw that episode. Kirk is planning on using the stalagmite(not dildo) in his hands to bash the other guy, who turns out to be an android. Then somebody vaporizes the android with a phaser.

good times, good times.

good times, good times.

That's the one where Lurch calls "Captain Kii-iiirk" in Mrs. Roddenberry's voice. I do that all the time now.

Then later Lurch exclaims "THAT'S the missing equation!" and kills his master. I say that all the time now.

And that female android... Oh, my.
