WEEKLY GROSS-OUT: All these musician deaths

Whitney Houston died earlier this year. Adam Yauch and Donna Summer died earlier this month (as did non-musicians Maurice Sendak and Vidal Sassoon), and now, Robin Gibb will not be stayin' alive because he has now joined them. All these musicians dying in such rapid succession is too big a strain on the music industry, especially when none of them are producing pure vomit and passing it off as music like Billy Ray Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Enya, Justin Bieber, and several others are doing. Sorry if I appear to be giving you guff about your tastes in music but a lot of music is only fit for use by the FBI and at Guantanamo as a substitute for waterboarding. In other news, scientists have identified thousands of sites in the Arctic where methane that has been stored for many millennia is bubbling into the atmosphere. The methane has been trapped by ice, but is able to escape as the ice melts. This ancient gas could have a significant impact on climate change. Methane is the second most important greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide, and methane levels are rising after a few years of stability.
