His keepers put out the following statement; 'Paul appears to have passed away peacefully during the night, of natural causes, and we are consoled by the knowledge that he enjoyed a good life here,' said Mr Porwoll. 'We may decide to give Paul his own small burial plot within our grounds and erect a modest permanent shrine.' Paul will live on meanwhile in the form of a range of commercial enterprises ranging from special clothing lines to mobile phone applications.' Of course, he could be like Michael Jackson or Jade and make a post-mortem fortune for whoever owns his rights. |

I need some new swearwords. I tried to stuff a fish once. I imagine an octopus would be like trying to stuff a rice pudding. |
