Bevan is dead?

No.
That's the first thing I'd like to clear up. Definitely not dead.

My most memorable assembly in school was the one where the announcements began with, "Richard Hughs (I can't remember the kid's name) is not dead, his mother just called in and we would like to inform all of you that he is not dead, any information on who spread this rumour please report to the principals office."

Since then I have been fascinated with the idea. The idea of a pretend death that is.
My friend Trevor and I tried to spread a rumour 3 years ago that Jim Carrey had died. Not a malicious rumour, just a test really and it proved a lot more difficult than we imagined.

Granted, we didn't try that hard.

Tuesday:staff meeting day.

The meeting today began with Tom announcing that Sherman had called in the day before, gingerly touching on the issue of my death. A fascinating misunderstanding of sorts, I did break my ankle a few months ago when I came off my bike in a sad attempt to impress my girlfreind, but nothing severe enough to warrant a death rumour.

Nevertheless it has to have been the best part of my day becuase since 8:30 am I haven't quite felt so alive.
