| Robert Culp, the versatile actor who teamed with Bill Cosby in the groundbreaking comedy-adventure TV series "I Spy," has died. He was 79. The actor's agent Hillard Elkins says Culp died after collapsing Wednesday on a sidewalk outside his Hollywood home. Los Angeles police say he hit his head while on a walk and was pronounced dead after arriving at a hospital. A preliminary investigation found that his death is accidental. |

| #3 Surprisingly, one of the things he is best being remembered for is the original Outer Limits episode, "Demon With a Glass Hand", written by Harlan Ellison, with Culp in mind. Ellison later got a legal settlement from the production of "The Terminator", for ripping off parts of both Demon, and the even more surreal Outer Limits episode he wrote, called "Soldier". Not too long ago some wit summarized demon as "Culp is a time traveling robot, being pursued by time traveling alien Goths, who he kills by tearing off their nipple rings." Demon was shot in the Bradbury hotel, which was also used for the final scenes in "Blade Runner". |

| #2 You can probably make a bet in Las Wages, that ACORN et al will insure he and dozens of others will be at the address on 1 April. |

| #1 I wonder if he followed instructions and already sent in his census form, listing who's living in his household on April 1. |
