Ripley's Believe it or Not?

A heartwarming story is making the rounds of an elderly Iowa couple, who, with mortal injuries sustained in a car crash, conclude their 72 year marriage, and time on earth, holding hands, expiring within a hour of one another.  One version of the story even has the husband, who passed first, continuing to show a pulse on the monitor - the pulse of his wife, whose hand he still clasped.

Upon hearing this story on the radio this morning, I was already thinking of this song, just about the time one of the on-air personalities mentioned it.



Of course, my other thought was of Poe's The Tell-Tale Heart...

I've always loved that KM song.

I don't want to sound cynical or even rude, but he blew a stop sign, resulting in a motor vehicle accident that killed them- correct?

The cosmic- together forever angle doesn't seem to fit regardless of how long they'd been together.
