      Tragically Hip singer Gord Downie has died at 53
      http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-41669610

      was he tragically hip?

      Was he so bad that he was actually good?

        Now he's just tragically dead.

              I've heard of the band, but have never actually heard them.

                Then you have more than I because I've never even heard of them.

                                      @scottalanmiller When i was a kid, in the fall my friends and i would get our wiffle bats and go outside during dusk time. There would be hundreds of flying ants or termites, and we would just smack them for a while. They dont exist anymore from what i can tell when i go back home.

                                        I've definitely noticed a drop in "things flying around." It's nothing like it was when I was a kid.

                                          I would agree - while my car still has lots of bug splatters, it's a fraction of what it was 20 years ago.

                                            Even five years ago. Driving from TX to NY used to always mean scraping the windshield clean a few times on the way. Now, barely a thing.
