"How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, 'This is better than we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant. God must be even greater than we dreamed'? Instead they say, 'No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to stay that way.'" - Carl Sagan

Re: Did you hear who died?
I know someone who will be weeping over that, if he isn't already. He never came home last night, oddly.
My mother's fiance imitates all of Tony Soprano's mannerisms. It's horrifying. He seems to idolize a murderous thug.
Of course, Gandolfini himself was not a murderous thug, so it's still sad.

An old acquaintance Alistair Donaldson, better known as William Mysterious, bass player with The Rezillos / Revillos. I don't know how old he was, probably 55 - 60, and I don't know how he died.
Sad.

Re: Did you hear who died?
Yeah, it sucks when that kind of thing happens. Last fall, went to the coffee house, everyone played a bunch of stuff, including Shay, a guy from DOT who had been going to coffee house for about a year. His daughter was about to move in with him to be near her university, just starting. The next week he was working on his girlfriend's roof, fell off and died. Really sucked.

English isn't much of a language for swearing. When I studied Ancient Greek I was delighted to discover a single word - Rhaphanidosthai - which translates roughly as "Be thou thrust up the fundament with a radish for adultery."

In spite of a rumour started by something called "Guardian Express, it seems that at this moment Nelson Mandela is not dead.

Sorry to hear that, Roy. I expect she's well into it at the beer volcano by now.
