Comedian Bernie Mac at 50

This is not good news, he died of pneumonia.
He was one of the funnier american actors/comedians, and his performance of Bobby Bolivia (same as the country without the runs!) in Transformers was, in my opinion, one of his funniest roles, if only short one.

lots of a people die from pneumonia as it basically means an infection that results in fluid in the lungs, and there are antibiotics becoming inneffective every year ... and they're only effective against the bacterial infections ... there are viral infections that cause it as well.

sorry to say ...

but back to the topic ... it's sad to see such a great comic die so soon ... they should all be allowed a long and full life
