I hope that the rumor about Winkin's demise is unfounded.

Could it be that the same person who started that rumor was also responsible for spreading the malicious tale that Bert [longtime live in partner to Ernie] died of AIDS?

And who was it that felt the need to spread the report that Batman and Robin have a 'special relationship'? Even if this is true-and I'm not sayin that it is-it's nobody's business but theirs.

Some people like to upset people by sharing made up stories.

I guess they don't have anything better to do with their time.
