Is dropping lilke flies, Richard Adams, author of Watership Down has died today as well.

Maybe they can't face a future with large doses of stupidity ruling their lives.

And there's still four days of the year left.

Mads

This is a story reported in several places, I've excerpted it here from two of them: While discussing the white dress she wore throughout the first Star Wars film, Fisher recalled, "George [Lucas] comes up to me the first day of filming and he takes one look at the dress and says, 'You can't wear a bra under that dress... because there is no underwear in space.'"

"I promise you this is true, and he says it with such conviction too!" she continued. "Like he had been to space and looked around and he didn't see any bras or panties or briefs anywhere."

According to Fisher, Lucas' logic was: "So, what happens if you go to space and you become weightless. So far so good, right? But then your body expands??? But your bra doesn't -- so you get strangled by your own bra."

"Now I think that this would make for a fantastic obit -- so I tell my younger friends that no matter how I go, I want it reported that I drowned in moonlight, strangled by my own bra," she wrote.

And so, respecting her wishes, we report here that Carrie Fisher, beloved actor, icon to a generation, accomplished author, died as many of us hope to go ourselves; she drowned in moonlight, strangled by her own bra.

Thanks, Carrie, for the smiles and tears, for getting your revenge, for fighting back, for showing us a new hope. You'll always be our favorite smart-mouth princess.

Hugs from a fan,
