  1. Sad news ... Stephen King dead at 55 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci-Fi writer Stephen King was found dead at his Maine residence this morning. Apparently, Mr. King was digging a grave for the beloved family beagle Rover when he struck a buried power line and was fried with 50,000 volts of electricity. I guess irony can be pretty ironic sometimes. I'm sure he will be missed by the Slashdot community - even if you didn't enjoy his work, his contributions to the latest Linkin Park album will probably outlive us all. Truly an American icon.
