Well, that's my investment schedual for 2010 sorted.

Buying some stocks in tinfoil companies, me.

Lots of hats will be created after this.

[Anonymous Coward]

He should have been in a proper grave.

But there was no-one left who could dig it.

[James Hughes 1]

Awesome.

That is all.

[Anonymous Coward]

Alternatively

The more awesome (and entirely reasonable) solution is that even now a zombie James Brown is stalking America! He's 'Doing it to Death' and 'Living in America'.

The spangly one with 'Make It Funky' on the back please.

[Geoff Kennedy]

errr..

Shouldn't that be 'UN-living in America'?

[Anonymous Coward]

Interesting

I live in that area and there is nothing on the local news pertaining to his remains as missing. Trust me, when James Brown did anything, it was on the local news for a week.

[Disco-Legend-Zeke]

When You Are A Legend...

...everyone wants your body.

[austint]

Hope they got a brand new bag...

..to put him in.

Sorry, couldn't resist. Coat. Door. Outta here...

[Rogue Genome]

Huhhh

This is bad... Superbad, huh!!! Can I get a witness!

[Rob 101]

That reminds me of an old song..

James Borwn's body lies a moulderin' in... no wait a minute.....

[Anonymous Coward]

*snort*

Wasn't that Abe Liconln's favorite song? Oh, yea, it was that other one... lol

[Rufus Nice]

Get Up Offa That Thing

It makes me sick. Seems we've come a long way from the days when people protested the horror of body snatching. Am afraid James Brown is as useful as a chocolate tea pot. Spare us the charade for pity's sake!

[Anonymous Coward]

Grave concern.

Can you dig it? Well no, not any more.

[LinkOfHyrule]

Bloody nora!

I agree, sod the IT angle! James Brown's body - stolen.... w...t....f....!

[Anonymous Coward]

Moved location

Can now be found in WoW (http://www.wowwiki.com/Bronjahm)

[Anonymous Coward]

Well obviously

He felt good

(do do do do do do do)

Like we knew that he would

Mines the black one, with the full length zip

[Anonymous Coward]

Maybe he just got up

like a, like a sex machine?

[Anonymous Coward]

"Brown died on Christmas Day 2006"

Seems like only yesterday. I can still hear James Brown's last words. "Heeoooww, I don't feel so good."

[Dick Emery]

funny

The funny thing is that in his act was always that he was walking away only to keep coming back time after time.

I guess he is making one more comeback.

[Cameron Colley]

I heard they put it under a bridge...

... where is that confounded bridge?

[Anonymous Coward]

He made a deal with the devil

Nobody seen the BMW Films "The Hire", specifically "Beat the Devil" (http://www.bmwblog.com/2009/08/25/video-collection-bmw-films-the-hire/)

Clive Owen would be my No. 1 suspect.

[Anonymous Coward]

So James Brown...

got down, then got back up again?

Alien icon, because maybe this is a Plan 9 kind of thing...

[Ray Simard]

Mary Shelley's story...

...made into a movie with Boris Karloff, mike in hand, shouting "I feel good!"

He is on tour

With Elvis.

I wounder if we are going to see James Brown sightings like Elvis sightings.

The hardest working Zombie in show biz

[Phil 32]

Hardest working Zombie in Showbiz?

is Rod Argent.

[jake]

Shirly ...

Phil Spector is the hardest working zombie in showbiz?

[NogginTheNog]

Maybe his management...

...saw that creepy Elvis tour thing (band playing live with Elvis on screen "singing" along) and thought maybe they could send The Godfather Of Soul back out on the road again too!

[jake]

Only James Brown ...

... could continue to be entertaining from the other side.

I feel good! :-)

[TeeCee]

Entertaining from the other side?

Now that's what I call Soul music.

[Anonymous Coward]

But, James Brown is Dead!

dum, dum, dum, dulumdum, dulumdum, James Brown is Dead!

Hands in the air. James Brown is Dead!

[pctechxp]

He was obviously too bored

So he got on up.

[Goat Jam]

Good god!

I didn't even know the "Godfather of Soul" was dead.

Shame. Shame on me.

Tombstone because, well it's obvious really,

[lglethal]

How long does it take to build a mausoleum?

I have to ask the question "How long does it take to Mausoleum?" He died at the end of 2006, its now 3 months into 2010 - and the mausoleum still isnt built? What are they doing building him a pyramid (in the old egyptian style)? the Taj Mahal perhaps?

No wonder he got up and left, probably just wanted to find a permanent home!

[Marcus Aurelius]

According to Charlaine Harris

He's joined Elvis as a vampire

[Graham Bartlett]

Didn't bury him deep enough

They only dug him a shallow grave. Cos James Brown gotta get inta that groove!

[Oz]

Papa needs a brand new body bag

Enough already! My keyboard was already in a bad way, and that's now finished it. Half a mouthful of tea goes a fair way when it explodes out of your mouth. I hope you're happy! ;-)

what will happen when Micheal Jackson/s body goes missing

@kain preacher

"what will happen when Micheal Jackson/s body goes missing"

Near as I can tell, it went missing a couple decades ago ...
