By the way, this is TOTALLY OT, but if you have young children, consider
pointing out to them that the famous man everybody's talking about on TV
died very young and was killed by smoking. George Harrison was a heavy
smoker all his life and suffered from several cancers all related to
smoking. The connection between smoking and cancer of the lung, which killed
him, is the single best-supported link between a carcinogenic agent and a
disease in all of medicine. The life expectancy for a 58-year-old Englishman
of means is almost two decades longer than George lived, so smoking may well
have shortened his life by that much.

It's a good opportunity to talk to your kids yet again about smoking.

Sorry about the OT, but since there's no censorship on this list, I figured
I'd take advantage.  ;-)
