  1. Actor David Carradine Dead at Age 65 by ObitMan · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Actor David Carradine was found dead as a result of complications brought about by liver failure.
    Carradine was best known for his role as J.C. Busch in the 1986 made for TV documentary Oceans of Fire
    Son of Hollywood legend Richmond Reed Carradine, David seemed to be playing catch-up with his legendarily prolific father (who appeared in more than 500 films) by starring in countless low-rung action and sci-fi vehicles.
    He is survived by daughter's Calista Miranda and Kansas Anne, and by son Free.

    Metals are shiny because they have a smooth reflective surface you dolt. It has nothing to do with free electrons or other nonsense.

    If you polish any surface it become reflective and therefore shiny!
