I'm sorry to hear that MLE.
This definitely doesn't compare to lung cancer, but I felt seriously ticked that I spent an hour in front of the TV waiting to see if the little boy would land safely in the balloon today (and I never watch TV - maybe once a month) and then saw this interview where the child lets it slip that he "did it for the show".

- Interest in HF: started in childhood with the classics, which, IMHO are HF even if they were contemporary when written.
- Favourite HF book: Prince of Foxes, by Samuel Shellabarger
- Preferred HF: Currently prefer 1600 and earlier, but I'll read anything that keeps me turning the page.

Hah. Yes, if I ever return to teaching, I would be very careful what sort of things came out of my mouth... I never had a credential to teach the young ones though. Poor boy. If it's really a hoax, he's let it all slip and his father is not going to be pleased.

But what show did he mean? If it was all a hoax, it's awful and they should pay the cost the rescuers put out.
