Filed under: TV, R.I.P.

WWE superstar Chris Benoit, 40, his wife Nancy and young son were found dead in their Atlanta home early this afternoon, this according to WWE.com.

No further details regarding the tragedy have been released. Benoit was scheduled to appear at a pay-per-view event last night ... WWE said that there was a "family emergency" that prevented him from being there.

Benoit, a former World Heavyweight Champ, wreaked havoc with his signature move, the "Crippler Crossface."

The incident comes on the heels of the shocking death of former WWE wrestler "Sensational" Sherri Martel, and the supposed "assassination" of WWE head honcho Vince McMahon. TMZ has learned that the WWE is scrapping all references to the McMahon death storyline on tonight's episode of "Raw.'

According to the official WWE website, tonight's "Raw" will serve as a tribute to the wrestling great.

Police are investigating the incident.

Which is more important?

Which is more important? Being loyal to one's party, or being loyal to the American people? So it's not much sense in bashing one another. I say, let's have debates like mature adults and listen to one another's concerns and ideas. Let's not turn this into a war between Democrats and Republicans, Liberals and Conservatives. Whaddya say?

"A country divided cannot stand."

Thank you for your time.

Is this a liberal paradox?

Many liberals believe everything George W Bush says is a lie. They also gush over how wonderful Ted Kennedy is.

So how can they reconcile Bush saying, "Senator Kennedy is one of the best legislative senators there is."

What’s the Difference Between Atheism & Agnosticism?

"Once it is understood that atheism is merely the absence of belief in any gods, it becomes evident that agnosticism is not, as many assume, a “third way” between atheism and theism. The presence of a belief in a god and the absence of a belief in a god exhaust all of the possibilities. Agnosticism is not about belief in god but about knowledge — it was coined originally to describe the position of a person who could not claim to know for sure if any gods exist or not." --Austin Cline, briefly, from "Atheism 101"

Question for snake keepers?

Do you think it should be much harder to get large snakes, like boa constrictors? I feel it should be illegal (or at the very least strictly controlled) to keep such dangerous animals. most people that get them don't seem to be able to cope with the huge size they get. proof of this is in florida where there is now a breeding boa constrictor population just from the pets people have released. what do you think about this problem? thanks for your opinions.

Everyone is Black?

Have you guys seen the July 2007 Issue of Vanity Fair? If not, check it out! Its incredible..

Do you think you know who you are? Maybe Irish, Italian, Jewish, Chinese, or one of the dozens of other hyphenated Americans that make up the United States melting pot? Think deeper—beyond the past few hundred years. Back beyond genealogy, where everyone loses track of his or her ancestry—back in that dark, mysterious realm we call prehistory. What if I told you every single person in America—every single person on earth—is African? With a small scrape of cells from the inside of anyone's cheek, the science of genetics can even prove it.
