Student falls 15 feet to his death STROUDSBURG, Pa. (AP) — A 22-yeir-6ld East Stroudsburg University student died Sunday at Pocono Medical Center after he fell abo u t 15 feet from a stair case in his apartment building. Michael Walsh of Lake Stockholm, N.J., apparently had been drinking before the fall, Stroudsburg police said. The former college football player fell off the staircase between the second and third floors of the building and landed on his head. Walsh, who would have been a ju n io r at the college in the fall, was pronounced dead at Pocono Medical Center about 3:45 a.m. The Monroe County coroner’s office said an autopsy showed Walsh died of a closed-head injury. Officials were awaiting toxicology results.

http://www.user.shentel.net/jimokane/tvdad1.html Most of the personal web pages on the internet are foolish and the authors are slightly eccentric, but its understandable because they realize as much. However, every so often I come across a true nut, one so dedicated to his cause that he actually starts to think we not only give a damn about his opinions, but look to him for guidance. That's exactly the situation with the TV Single Dads Hall of Fame. I could live with the fact that this site isn't anything close to a hall of fame, only a who's who of losers on television. I could be satisfied knowing that someone dedicated a little too much time in listing the father's job, the location of the missing mom, and which character acted as stand-in "mom." Hell, I could even learn not to vomit at comparisons of Lamont Sanford and Johnny Quest. After all, they're just television shows, right?
Wrong, according to what I've learned from Jim O'Kane's web site. We often hear about how parents sometimes use television as a babysitter or a reward. This moron however takes his use of television that extra mile and uses it as a teaching tool, drawing from character's experiences and hardships. I have always known that the majority of television is mindless drivel for the masses, but have always wondered who the certain individuals were that actually watched these shows with a passion and were able to make real life comparisons. My search is over, and I now have an individual simpleton in mind when I need to picture the demographic that is responsible for T.G.I.F. on ABC network
