Everyone relax, Sinbad is alive


Speaking of people coming back from the dead-

From PEOPLE:

' If Sinbad was looking for new comic material, he may have found it after being killed off by the online encyclopedia Wikipedia.

Fueled by a posting on the site last Saturday that he was no longer among the living, the robust 50-year-old actor-comedian got a call from his daughter, bringing the report to his attention, Sinbad tells the Associated Press.

This was followed by grieving phone calls, text messages and e-mails – hundreds of them, he says.

Once the news quieted down it only started up again, this time after someone updated the Wikipedia Sinbad entry to say he had passed away from a heart attack.

Still not true. "Saturday I rose from the dead and then died again," the Los Angeles-based entertainer tells the AP. '

Wikipedia has since corrected the item, changing the "Sinbad has died" part to "Sinbad's career has died".
