"Time for you to leave"

David Carradine is dead at 72, apparently from suicide by hanging kinky masturbation in a Thailand hotel room.

Aging is difficult, but we're sad that the inner calm and wisdom of Caine in Kung-Fu couldn't translate into real life for the often troubled actor who played him.

The pebble has been snatched from the hand. Time to leave.

But then the facts came out, and we really had to update this post. Our new commentary:

Ewwwwww, gross!
