OT: R.I.P. David Carradine

I remember Carradine from Kung Fu and several other movies, but younger folks probably know him best from Kill Bill. It appears he committed suicide in Bangkok:

Update: Carradine's close associates are claiming there's no way he would have committed suicide. This story makes the circumstances sound eerily like the death of INXS lead singer Michael Hutchence in 1997 (which I don't think was a suicide):

Update: Yep, it was a Michael Hutchence thing all right. Poor guy. What an embarrassing way to go.

Fangirl Corsets

It's such a slow day, I even scoured ClubJade.net for anything I might have missed. On that site, I saw an item about a company that sells SW-inspired corsets. Specifically, Vader and stormtrooper corsets:

Yours for $500-$600 apiece! They'll make the ladies real popular with the local 501st garrison.

Almost as amusing are these Trek style corsets. If these babes were in Starfleet, Kirk would transfer them to the Enterprise and replace his old crew faster than you can say "sexual harassment lawsuit":
