I hope there is an afterlife, because I am more comfortable thinking that this dude is still towing boats across the space oceans of Valhalla.

It's truly the end of an era.

    He was a constant contender just because he was so old and so cut.

    He was also the closest modern analog to a god, so I guess he was still kind of a wildcard pick.

    I guess Jack must have heard that there were bigger boats and wider seas out there somewhere and decided to find out.

    2011 already seems to be the year for heroes to go home.

    I have never really known this man. His name sounds familiar however, so it's likely I've heard of him.
    From what I've read from that article, he seems like a pretty neat guy.

    LaLanne was famous for attention-getting feats of strength such as swimming the length of the Golden Gate Bridge in handcuffs while towing a boat behind him. (That was before he started towing multiple boats loaded with passengers, such as the 80 boats and 80 people he towed when he turned 80).

    Jesus Christ do I feel weak reading his achievements.

    So everyone in the world is now relatively stronger now that he has passed on right?

    That is how this works.
