Not that I'm weird, but it is interesting

I was reading an article this morning on newspaper's website. It was about OJ Simpson and someone commented on the story. This is what Gone Fishing wrote:
Actor Robert Blake (Beretta; Our Gang) found "Not Guilty" of murdering his wife with a gun.In addition, not enough evidence to put Actor Robert Wagner(It Takes a Thief; Heart to Heart) on trial for the murder of his wife, actress Natalie Wood(East of Eden; ) who he was alone with on their yacht adrift in California waters when she "fell overboard" and suspiciously drowned. Actor William Shatner (Star Trek) never charged with wife's death whose body was discovered drowned in their house pool and he was home. Album producer Phil Specter (Beatles albums) charged lately with murdering a night club girlfriend he took home and she was found shot in the head by a handgun. Actor OJ Simpson(Towering Inferno; Naked Gun) found not guilty of murdering wife, Nicole Simpson.

I read the list and saw Robert Wagner's name. I didn't know he was married to Natalie Wood. So I looked her up on the Internet and read about her life and about how she died. Another link to Wood was Find A Grave. It is a website that has pictures of famous people's graves. I was probably on that site for an hour or two. A co-worker came over to my desk to chat and asked what I was doing. I showed him the site and he started giving me names to type in. I looked up so many people today. I looked up Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, John Wayne, George C. Scott, Audrey Hepburn, Katharine Hepburn, Howard Hughes, Dale Earnhardt, George Peppard, Cary Grant, Grace Kelly, Gen. George S. Patton, Natalie Wood, Alfred Hitchcock and more. I think its interesting that all of these people were so big in life and most of them have small headstones. Nothing to say that they were any different then anyone else.
