...longer with them, which is why it's important when someone passes away that their friends or family contact Facebook to request that a profile be memorialized," Kelly said in the post. To discourage pranksters, Facebook does require proof before sending a profile down the digital river Styx. Family or friends must fill out a form, providing a link to an obituary or other information confirming a user's death, before the profile is officially memorialized. Once that is completed, the user will cease showing up in Facebook's suggestions, and information like status updates won't show...

I could have told him I wanted to sail up the river Styx, and he would have agreed. Times are tough in the Persian Gulf emirate, and my Bangladeshi boatman had spent hours chugging up and down the creek looking for a fare.

...rest of the lineup for the Republican convention is a little washed up: Sammy Hagar, Gretchen Wilson, Styx, Smashmouth, the Beach Boys, Cowboy Troy, the Bellamy Brothers, Robert Earl Keen and LeAnn Rimes. Some organizers who had great success at the DNC are having no luck booking their RNC event. Even in St. Paul the Democrats have a better slate, with anti-Bush protest shows planned from Steve Earle, Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, Billy Bragg and Lupe Fiasco...
