I can't put > my finger on why he looked awful, but he did. A very sad fate for a warm, largely-selfless person. Heck, he was even a volunteer firefighter for ten years. If I'm counting right from the chronology at the site, he's got three biological children and two stepchildren. I'm hoping they're helping. But like I said, should you have money to spare... Andy Pa. cable glitch switches Vatican Mass to racy ad PHILADELPHIA  A Philadelphia cable network's early morning broadcast of Good Friday Mass at the Vatican abruptly changed to something wildly different  a 30-second "Girls Gone Wild" ad. Comcast spokesman Jeff Alexander says the 2 a.m. Friday programming glitch was due to a required test of the Emergency Alert System. He says such tests are usually done in the overnight hours. The test automatically tunes viewers to a preselected channel that would provide information in the event of an emergency. But during tests, the channel airs regular programming, which in this case included a paid advertisement for the racy videos. Alexander says the problem affected the network's entire local area, but only one person called to complain.
