Yesterday at the age of 95, W. Mark Felt died of congestive heart failure. In 2005, Felt revealed to reporters on the porch of his Santa Rosa home that he was indeed "Deep Throat." His secret was kept to himself for over 30 years -- his own family did not know reportedly until 2001. Those close to him believe he step forth because the burden took its tole in his later years.
Former FBI associate director Felt was the mysterious informant who helped reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein unfold the Watergate scandal which ultimately lead to the resignation of President Nixon. Felt moved to Santa Rosa, CA in 1991.
His house is literally 1000 steps from my parent's house. Growing up, I used to jog passed it all the time. Also, my buddy used to live in the house across the street from him.
I wikied my first name (Gary). Apparently it used to describe a spear thrower -- fitting that the citing for this claim is missing on wiki. The popularity of the name has been diminishing since the 50s...I could of have guess that. Does anyone got some spears I can throw? haha

You remember this cartoon? This "classic" was always part creepy and depressing to me. Creepy partly because David Bowie does the introduction and looks oddly normal. Depressing...well watch the end. Giving it credit - everything in the middle is light-hearted.
