Novell – Attachmate Deal Not a Death Knell
Humans seem to take morbid pleasure in announcing someone's death, even when said person is not yet dead. The most infamous one being, of course, the 1897 report of Mark Twain's death, to which he replied "The report of my death was an exaggeration."

Summer is a great time to enjoy new experiences, and this summer I did something that I've wanted to try for a l-o-n-g time: I went skydiving! Needless to say, most people think it's crazy and senseless to jump out of a perfectly functioning aircraft. Yet for those of us who enjoy these thrill-seeking moments, jumping out of a plane at 13,500ft and plummeting to Earth for nearly a minute at 200kmh (125mph) is an absolutely amazing feeling!
