Motorcycle Daredevil Evel Knievel Dead at 69

Obituary here.  Interestingly, it makes no mention of his time in the slammer from when he beat down some guy with a baseball bat (with both of his arms broken and in casts, by the way.  What a guy.).  Ironically, it was only a few months ago that I discovered he was even still alive.  I thought he'd jumped to The Other Side a long time ago.  Also of interest, apparently Evel converted to Christianity this past April.  68 years of hard livin', boozin' and womanizin', and seven months after he finally puts that behind him, he's dead.  God has an oddball sense of humor, that's for sure.  RIP, Evel Knievel.
