Gilligan Finally Voted Off Island

Bob Denver, TV's Gilligan, died Friday of cancer. He was 70.

His Russian spy twin is still at large, armed with a pocket knife that has over 200 functions, including a death ray.

Before cancer did him in, Gilligan previously survived a direct lightning strike that rendered him invisible, a run-in with headhunters, a haunting, becoming an allergen to his fellow castaways, a giant spider, a lion, a British mod rock band, a boat crash and countless blows to the head from a large man wielding a skipper's hat.

He is survived by a movie star and Mary-Anne. They'll have to make the best of things. It's an uphill climb.
