Death Rumors Confirmed?

Photo evidence suggests musician, former Blue’s Clues host did, indeed, die in a whaling accident off Nova Scotia.

For years, rumors have circulated regarding the untimely demise of Steve Burns, the musician, actor, producer and former host of “Blue’s Clues”. The most recent gossip had Burns passing away in a whaling accident off the coast of Nova Scotia.

Photo evidence has now come to light that apparently backs up this rumor. A photo taken on a Bionic Genius research expedition shows Burns on deck, harpoon still planted deep within, as the Geniuses prepare for a burial at sea.

According to Bionic Genius Josh, Burns was taking a dip in the frigid waters when he was accidentally harpooned by a whaling ship, the crew of which mistook his large, wet beard and mustache for the hair of a rare type of whale, the Hairy Pygmy Whale.

“We are all saddened by this tragic event,” said Bionic Genius Josh, who serves as spokesman for the group “mostly because our insurance will now skyrocket. And also because he predicted this on our weekly podcast, the Bionic Genius Roundtable, and so it will look suspicious, I’m sure. By the way, for tax purposes I’m an intern. And don’t forget to buy a Bionic Genius shirt.”
