Re: Celebrity RIP Thread
Good god. I had no idea about this. What a sad way to die for a man who starred in one of the greatest movies of the 80's.

Voted in college to be Most likely to Take Over the World, how to do that however, will require at least Four Evangelions. Thanks for the idea Misato-san!

Science fiction author; former BYTE columnist. During the mid-90s he was definitely enthusiastic about trying out new things that are dropped onto his desk. Remembered reading about him getting the first-generation Pentium-powered PCs and christened it the Pentafluge as it was lightning fast back in the day.
Three cheers to that great old man!

Comedian Ralphie May, dead at 45 from cardiac arrest.
He was really funny, but it's not totally unexpected considering the obesity...

No, that's Louie Anderson, he's still alive. The show was Life with Louie.
Wow, there are a lot of obese comedians.
