Chris Benoit and family found dead

WWE Superstar Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy and a 7 year old son, Daniel were found dead in their Atlanta home earlier today.
According to several sources, the 40-year-old Benoit missed a house show on Saturday night and the Vengeance Pay-Per-View last night due to a “family emergency.”
The family was found around 4 p.m.2:30 p.m. Monday afternoon.
The only news coming from Georgia Police, is that the ‘family was not shot to death’ but they are still investigating.

UPDATE: According to CNN/SI: Lt. Tommy Pope of the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department said the three were found at their home about 2:30 p.m., but refused to release details.
Pope said results of autopsies on Benoit, his wife Nancy, and 7-year-old son Daniel were expected Tuesday.

Incidentally, Benoit was best friends with Eddie Guerrero, from El Paso, who died in November of 2005, after his heart stopped in his hotel room, the night before a huge pay-per-view where Guerrero was expected to win the WWE Championship again.

Stuck in Flo-Mo

Brian Bailey shared a link to a funny video put together in his hometown of Flower Mound, Texas.
Apparently the kids in Flo-Mo have nothing to do, so they put together a rap video highlighting their “small town” of 60,000.

Google shows the benefits of solar energy

Google has shared some information on the benefits their new solar paneled roofs are making at their Silicon Valley headquarters.
From CNet:

The search giant has covered the roofs of eight buildings and two carports at its Mountain View, Calif., headquarters with solar panels in an effort to build the largest solar panel installation of any corporate campus in the U.S.

The system is producing approximately 10,000 kilowatt-hours per day.

That equals 8,347 coffee makers running for an hour, 6,257 dishwasher runs, 3,642 loads of laundry washed and dried, or 41,737 alarm clocks running for 24 hours, going by U.S. Department of Energy standards.
