University Park, PA: After only a few hours and minimal faulty news reports, reality was finally confirmed: Abe Vigoda is still alive.
Unfortunately for legendary Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, Joe Paterno is not.
The rumor of Joe Paterno’s passing came late Saturday night, however family members, including Paterno himself, denied the allegations until Sunday morning.
“News of my passing came prematurely, but rest assured, I’m still here,” explained Paterno, still not fully aware during a press conference that he had died.
During that brief moment that the Paterno rumor was unconfirmed, over 100 million Google searches were launched to see if it was actually Abe Vigoda that had passed away. Luckily, Abe Vigoda is still alive at the age of 90.
I automatically thought the same thing and had no idea 100 million googlers dud too. HILARIOUS!
