    G. Capurro / E. Di Capua

    Che bella cosa na jurnata 'e sole,
    n'aria serena doppo na tempesta!
    Pe' ll'aria fresca pare gia' na festa...
    Che bella cosa na jurnata 'e sole.

    Ma n'atu sole
    cchiu' bello, oi ne'.
    'o sole mio
    sta 'nfronte a te!
    ‘o sole, ‘o sole mio
    sta 'nfronte a te!
    sta 'nfronte a te!

    Quanno fa notte e 'o sole
    se ne scenne,
    me vene quase 'na malincunia;
    sotto 'a fenesta toia restarria
    quanno fa notte e 'o sole
    se ne scenne.

    Ma n'atu sole
    cchiu' bello, oi ne'.
    'o sole mio
    sta 'nfronte a te!
    ‘o sole, ‘o sole mio
    sta 'nfronte a te!
    sta 'nfronte a te!
    Now he sings with the angels.

    poor Mr Pavarotti why is it so many people die of cancer these days? it's like everyone has some form of cancer. is there a higher prevalence today or did people die younger/of other diseases in the past before they could develop cancer?

    its tragic the amount of people dying of cancer. My uncle died from the same cancer where he was 72. May Luciano Pavarotti Rest in Peace.

    I would imagine that cancer existed, but simply was not recognized, in the past.

    Actually.....
    Belinda by maria Edgworth written 1811 ( I think) around then anyway... several reerances to cancer.
    Also one of Gene Stratton-Porter's books ( 1910s and 20s) talks about cancer burning, branding and slowly eroding a persons soul for years in a slow and painful death that would not be wished on anyone.
    And if I sat here long enough I could probably think of a few more literary referances to it.

    It seems absurd to me. Just out of curiousity, why do you find this so disturbing?

    People are living longer, so there is more of a chance of getting it before you die of some other cause. Pavorotti died at 71. Twenty years ago life expectancy for a male was under 70.

    Talking

    Chaps it's official women come into heat like other animals during their most fertile period. And they also go for hunks rather than Mr Safe Dweebs.

    What say you chaps and chappesses?

    Is Evolutionary theory making animals out of us

    In his 1970's gender-bending phase, David Bowie would have made a pretty dubious computer avatar, a new study suggests.
