Star Of Black Panther, Chadwick Boseman Passed Away at Age 43
(0:00) Show Open: 2020 Killed an Avenger
"Black Panther" Star Chadwick Boseman Died on Friday
CHADWICK BOSEMAN, a.k.a. "Black Panther", died of complications from colon cancer on Friday. He was only 43. He was diagnosed four years ago, but never revealed it publicly. That means that he was fighting cancer while filming "Black Panther" and the last two "Avengers" movies.
The timing of Chadwick's death was also coincidental. He died on Major League Baseball's "Jackie Robinson Day," and his first starring role was playing Jackie in the 2013 movie "42".
Jackie Robinson Day was supposed to be April 15th, but it was previously rescheduled because COVID-19 delayed the start of the baseball season. Chadwick posted a video about Jackie Robinson Day back in April . . . and some fans were concerned because he looked a lot thinner than he has in the past.
And Friday was also the birthday of legendary comic book artist Jack Kirby, who was the first person to draw Black Panther. Kirby died in 1994, but Friday would've been his 103rd birthday
Chadwick may have hinted at his diagnosis in 2017, when an interviewer said "you've been through the wringer," and he responded, quote, "Oh, you don't even know. You have no idea. One day, I'll live to tell the story."

Have you taken on any fun projects while you've been stuck at home? A woodworker in Ohio made a squirrel feeder that looks like a bar. It's got seven types of nuts "on tap," and the internet loves it. So he patented the design, and now he's selling them for $200 a pop.
A mom in Florida was reunited with her two-year-old daughter after five months apart. She went to Panama with her grandmother to visit relatives in early March, and they got stuck there. They finally got home earlier this month.
A guy in Utah was getting annoyed that the motion sensor on his garage kept going off at night. It turned out a little kid was riding his bike up into his driveway. But instead of telling him to stop, he drew a mini racetrack in chalk. So now more kids use it.
A few years ago, a woman in Virginia started making hand-painted signs that say "Be Kind" and giving them out for free. And with the help of volunteers, she's made 2,000 of them since March.
A psychologist at Oxford says your friendships won't suffer long-term because of the crisis. Your friend group might feel smaller right now . . . and we all might be a little more socially awkward when things first open up. But he says most friendships will rebound. And bonds between family members will stay just as strong as they were.

An Adult Toy Company in Japan Makes a Dumbbell You Can Also Have Sex With
An adult toy company in Japan called Tenga just created a new product: A dumbbell you can also have sex with. (So they just raised the stakes, Shake Weight.)
The product is a nine-pound metal cylinder that's indented a bit in the middle so you can grip it for curls and other weight training exercises. But it's also got a hole in the bottom, where you insert one of Tenga's love toys that resemble lady parts . . . so in between your sets, you can get-it-on with your dumbbells.
They're selling them for $520 EACH . . . and if you really want one, they'll ship it to you from Japan. (Sora News 24)
(Here's a picture of the product and a safe-for-work picture of exercises.)
Leggings for men are becoming more popular, so manufacturers are trying to figure out how they can do a better job hiding men's BULGES in them . . . like building in jockstraps. (Full Story)
