Comedian Sinbad had the last laugh this week after his Wikipedia entry announced he was dead. Rumors began circulating last weekend regarding the posting, said Sinbad, who first got a telephone call from his daughter. The gossip quieted, but a few days later the 50-year-old entertainer said phone calls, text messages and e-mails started pouring in by the hundreds.
It doesn’t mention how this happened in the first place, but it sounds like it could have been deliberate. As you’d expect from a comedian, Sinbad took it all in stride.
