I think this is the first Saturday post I’ve ever made, but I guess there’s a good reason for it. Bernie Mac died in the hospital of pneumonia this morning at the age of 50. I said this when George Carlin died, and I’ll say it again: Why can’t it be Carlos Mencia?

I don’t really have anything funny to say about his death because I actually like Bernie Mac. Instead, I uploaded a clip from Kings of Comedy that has Bernie Mac explaining why black people use the word “muthafucka” so much. Enjoy:

Rest in peace, Bernie.

And since this is an informational website, here’s a list of other famous people who have died from pneumonia:

Freddie Mercury: The lead singer of Queen. I always thought he died of AIDS, but I was way off – he died of pneumonia. Oh, wait… he got the pneumonia because he had AIDS. I just realized that AIDS is kind of a lazy disease because it outsources other illnesses to do all its dirty work. Hmm, I wonder if AIDS outsources to India like we do. Maybe we aren’t so different after all, AIDS.

Bruce Paltrow: Gweneth Paltrow’s dad and also a film producer. He was best known for three movies that I never heard of. Why did I even mention this guy? He’s boring. Next!

James Brown: The craziest soul musician ever. He died on Christmas Day. His Santa Claus was the Grim Reaper.
