I thought this only happened to Spinal Tap drummers
Via Yahoo News:
A former drummer for the Swedish pop band ABBA was found dead with cuts to his neck in the garden of his house on the Spanish island of Mallorca. Police said Monday an autopsy showed it was an accident.
Alas, it wasn’t a “Bizarre gardening accident“. Apparently, Ola Brunkert hit his head on a glass door in his dining room before stumbling into the garden.
Anyway, rest in peace, Ola Brunkert. The next time William Dembski says “Waterloo!” (which, according to my calculations, should be about 10 minutes from now), I’ll bust out the ABBA Gold CD in your honor.

I’m running out of naming options for these increasingly sick people. I started out a month ago with Church Burners. Then I had to add Ebola Boys. Church Burning Ebola Boys. Now what - Church Burning Baby Butchering Ebola Boys? That’s too long. Too unwieldy. Any suggestions would be appreciated. (Source:

I’m afraid that the conclusion that this death was accidental, and particularly the conclusion that it was not a bizarre gardening accident, are quite premature.
A man’s dead. A man has been killed. That means this man had a killer. Glass door indeed. Who is really the killer? That’s for you to find out.
See, I’m afraid that’s beyond the scope of this investigation. After all, it’s obvious these cuts to the neck are designed in a manner that would attract murders, so it could have been anything or anyone. There might even be those who say that aliens murdered your drummer, but that’s mere speculation. Judging from the way the evidence at the scene gives absolutely no compelling reasons to believe that any crime was committed, I’m guessing this crime was someone reasonably intelligent, but that’s the most I can say. We may never know who did it.
That’s how the gritty no-nonsense detective and book reviewer from Anywhere, North Texas woulda done it.

Please don’t tell me that you actually have an ABBA CD.

Thanks to the alt.binaries.sounds.mp3 hierarchy, I have a lot of stuff that I wouldn’t otherwise buy. As much as I praise old-school punk and Hillbilly music, I’ve got a real soft spot for Bubblegum music.
It pains me to have to make this confession, but my love of Bubblegum runs so deep that I did purchase a Brady Bunch CD. And I listen to it. For non-ironic purposes, even.
I know, I know… there goes my street cred. The sucker MCs are now gonna think I’m soft…
