I'd say those bikini models were a bit more shocked - <--- actual size.

Michael Jackson dying. I think I was probably the last person in the world to find out.

timmaii

It's got to be Tiger, who could have foreseen that he was human after all!

John and Edward.

Their SUBO like introduction was a joy to behold. Thats living the dream :eek:

WindSock

The Ryan & Murphy reports. We all knew that the clergy were up to no good, but the scale and the cover ups were fairly inconcievable to the nation until the reports were published.

SUBO? Do you mean GABBO.... GABBO!

Michael Jackson Dieing I think for me was a shock

jebuz

Probably last Tuesday when I tried to fix a hairdryer in the shower

UpCork

Although I wasn't his biggest fan, the death of Michael Jackson. He was such a well known star it was difficult to believe that he was gone.

Huge shock for me though was the death of Stephen Gately. I had been a huge Boyzone fan - and I was gutted (still am) that he had passed. That coupled with the fact he was so young and healtly

meditraitor

OPrah retiring was a complete shock.........

Good God, do you live in opposite world? Like good things are bad and vice versa?? Like ice-cream is gross and cabbage is amazing!!

I was more shocked by how the press hyped up these people's deaths, with the exception of Michael Jackson. With no disrespect intended, I hadn't even heard of Stephen Gately until he died, and nor did most people I know.
