Walter Cronkite died, what is it about these last 2 months or so with all the high profile deaths?

While I never was able to hear his news, I always heard good things about this legend in his industry. From the assasination of JFK to the Moon landing, he was the voice of news.

I am very sad indeed.  I will tell you an embarassing story, (well, kinda), that happened way back when I was in tech school.

Me and a couple buddies were taking a 12 mile walk through Witchita Falls, TX to go to the mall cause we didn't feel like paying the $1 to ride the bus.  So we are walking down the railroad tracks, keeping normal conversation, until we reach that awkward silence that kills a good time. That is when my buddy Seth Clark, asks us if it was cool to name your penis.  Nate Kenney and I both kept silent for a couple minutes, pondering our response to his question.  We both came up with the conclusion that we had nothing else to talk about, so we all decided to take the time at hand, and name our penises. (On a side note, we told some other guys about it back at the base later that day, and it kind of became a funny joke which lasted a couple of months) Well, my buddy Kenney came up with the Colonel Sanders for his, and Clark came up with the Punisher.  I took the longest, thinking of which would sound the funniest, cause that is the way I roll.  After many minutes of thought and abserd suggestions from my buddies, I came up with the funniest thing I could come up with, which you guessed it, Walter Cronkite.  It made me laugh because I thought of Bruce Almighty when he was portraying Mr. Cronkite, with such quotes as, "And that's the way the cookie crumbles." and "That's the way it was, and that's the way uh-huh, uh-huh, I like it."  All this time with Jim Carrey putting his finger over his mouth, pretending to have that famous Cronkite Mustache!

Well, there you have it! The Story of the Century!
