Bob Hope died of pneumonia yesterday, at the age of 100.

I found it ironic that he died on the weekend that Lara Croft – Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life.

I don’t mean this in a mocking way. Part of the quest in Cradle is to find the mythical Pandora’s Box. According to mythology, when Pandora opened the box, she loosed “…diseases, sorrows, vices and crimes…” upon the earth. The only thing left in the box after the others had flown out was hope.

And now, Hope is gone.

1903 – 2003.
