Whilst looking on another Forum (cough Digital Spy cough) I couldn't help but notice a thread that Lorraine Kelly had died according to Wiki, but whilst looking round I couldn't help but notice this one....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timmy_Mallett
...rather obvious that someone is having a laugh on this one, indeed it made me laugh.
Don't get me wrong Wiki can be a great source of Information, but surely someone high up at Wiki Towers should be aware of these things?

I did think you meant that someone was having a laugh by creating a page for Timmy Mallett, or even the man himself!

And where on earth did that rumour come from that one of the Chuckle Brothers was dead?! That rumour still is believed by some today!

Someone posted on there that the Chuckles were making a feature Film and Mel Smith would be producing it, it was a fake, but it did take a few people by surprise, including myself.
I personally thought they retired years ago, but they're still on CBBC looking old as ever.

Fuck'em. They should do proper library-trawling research like I had to do.

Why the hell would teens be researching Timmy Mallett for a school project anyway? Has schooling sunk that low?

Because those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
