I guess it shows my Internet age that my first thought was: "again?!" I
still remember reading the original erroneous death rumour and its
aftermath on Usenet. Death has become quite interactive these days.

There was always something very zen about his anti-dogmatism, as it
cheerfully veered between critical thinking and having a mind so open that
the brains (colorfully and interestingly) fell out.

Heute die Welt, morgen das Sonnensystem!
