Is finding the world’s oldest gecko so easy a caveman could do it? Sadly for fans of the Geico insurance company characters, the answer is: Probably not, as scientists say they were “very fortunate” to unearth in Myanmar (Burma) a piece of fossilized tree sap known as amber containing parts of a hundred-million-year-old gecko.

The few times I'd heard him "off" mike, like on "Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me," he seemed like a heck of a guy. It was borne out in the Geico commercial , and this You Tube video is a fitting tribute (how many guys like this would knock off a voice mail...

In a rare appearance, Don Lafontaine appeared in a GEICO insurance commercial where he narrated a woman's tale of a car accident with his signature "In a world..." introduction. It was the first time that I had ever seen the man, although the voice is unmistakable. The man with the great voice that has graced so many movie trailers over the years has passed away at the age of 68. Mr. LaFontaine...

But, for no better reason than the enjoyment I got from my last post about him, two years ago, I present this Geico auto insurance commercial featuring the now-departed Don LaFontaine: Movie trailers will never be the same again — “in a world” like this one [...]
