   Let the man rest in peace. thanks to the media he never will. Let the grievers grieve, and respect their right to privacy in their mourning.

   If the Westboro Baptists show up, they had better have a lot of security looking out for them because there will be a ton of students and alumni that won't be very happy to see them. They seem like they would defend, by any means necessary, their beloved JoePa.

   "The wages sin pays is death." and "Let the dead bury their dead." "Each man is drawn-out and enticed by his own unpure thoughts." "They became violently inflamed with lust for one another working what is obscene in the eyes of the Lord. Men lying with men...contrary to nature." "They will recieve full recompense due their error." "Men marrying and women being given in marriage." "And so the angel slew the 5,000 eyewitnesses who kept it a secret, but allowed the thieves to live." "Who really is my mother."

     Um...What are misoginistic, bigoted quotes from the Bible used to shore up an ideology of hatred for women and gays that have nothing to do with this thread, Alex?

     One would think you'd be all over that quote applauding it. Fits with the rhetoric, doesn't it?

   Witness Protection Program? Tussauds experts? If not I'd ask for extensive toxicology tests. He should have been
   in carefully guarded protected custody. Too much, too soon, too fast.

    The bible? Mysogenistic? Bigoted? Hidden in the laundry room?

      @Philip:
      Laundry room?
      Check your choosy memory, that wasn't me, and you well know it.
      You astound me in your ability to conveniently forget the truth when it doesn't suit you.

      My sympathy to the friends and family of Joe Paterno.
