I'd say if Keith Walker needs to worry about something, worry about what ever happened to Michael Jackson's brain, his physical brain that is. Will it be with him at the ceremony at Forest Lawn today? Is someone keeping Michael Jackson's brain in a desk drawer under lock and key? Or is it simply on a platter near someone's computer? Now those are things to worry about.

For those that missed the news, Jackson's brain was removed in the first autopsy. And was not allowed to be given to those involved in the second autopsy. My take: you'll see it on ebay. Now THAT is something to worry about.

Kind of akin to "The Jar". What would Bradbury do with this as a story base?

I don't know what Bradbury would do, but if people thought they could make another buck off Michael, they'd keep his brain to clone him from.

Mr Walker,
I am convinces that you are playing a joke on us. No one who has read or known Mr. B would ever think that he did not love all humans

Seems likely, given that Mr Walker posted, then replied to his own post, then replied to his own reply... apparently waiting, hoping, that other folks would rise to the bait.

What's that expression? "Do not feed the trolls."

Fruit at the Bottom of the Bowl!!??
