Charlton Heston Dead at 84

Screen legend and former president of the NRA, Charlton Heston, died due to undisclosed causes over the weekend. The acting icon, who was either 83 or 84 depending on who you ask (because apparently accurate record keeping 80 years ago was too much to ask for), had reportedly been suffering from the devastating effects of Alzheimer's Disease for a few years.

Charlton Heston was best known for his starring roles in classics like Ben Hur, Planet of the Apes, Soylent Green, Omega Man, Earthquake, and Airplane 75.

Please allow me now to be the 1,095,873,000th person to make the following joke...wait for it....waaiit for it....We can finally pry that gun from his cold, dead hands!
