With a heavy heart we note the unexpected death of Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who rose to fame as a child actor in the 1980s in the role of Theodore Huxtable on “The Cosby Show,” which ran from 1984 to 1992. Warner died at age 54 in an accidental drowning in Costa Rica, where he was on vacation with his family. Warner was swimming at Playa Grande in the town of Cocles in the province of Limón on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica around 2:30 p.m. local time Sunday, when a current pulled him deeper into the ocean, according to the Associated Press. May he rest in peace.

This how "Ancient Aliens" on History Channel fakes images. An image of the original relief carving from the Temple of Isis at Philae, an island on the Nile River (which has since been painstakingly relocated on Agilkia island between 1977 and 1980 because of the construction of the Aswan Dam), has been clearly photoshopped to include an alien-looking face (upper part), and a flying saucer (lower part of the image). It is very disappointing that this series has resorted to such dirty tricks. (Please click on the images to see them in full size.)
