ARTHUR C. CLARKE: Sir Arthur C. Clarke has died in Sri Lanka at the age of 90.
A very inspirational man, Ive read lots of his books & imo he was a visionary genius who had ideas far ahead of his time.

yep 90 is a good innings.
& no one cares IF you care or not to be honest.
Its just a bit of a loss that someone with such a great imagination has left this dimension.

Definitely a neat man. He had several patents for ortibital satellites to his name during his research days, and was a big sci-fi writer, plus he had an older tv program that featured unexplained/paranormal stuff. A lot of younger people won't recognize him but he did a lot.

Good point... to take it one step further, Clarke doesn't care that I don't care and he doesn't care that you and others (may) care, since he's dead. Not that anyone is actually serious when they show grief in threads like this.

Cynical much?
Yup. He had a good run. I hope to live to 90 in good health, too. His works will be remembered for a long time.

Even though it's cliche', the older I get, the more I am. I think in another 5-10 years, I'll be equal parts piss to vinegar.
My point, celebrate the man, he lived to 90; he's an accomplished author who's work will outlive all of us. This "RIP" and "my heart goes out to his families colon" doesn't make any sense to me, at all.

I thought it was kind of funny, myself. Cynicism mixed with double talk usually makes for a good laugh in a movie.
.......equal parts "piss and vinegar" :laugh"

Yeah, I have a hard time regretting when really old people die...death almost becomes a reward after a certain point.
WTF!!! l"my heart goes out to his families colon"? HAHAHAHAHA!

Look him up and read some of his books, like 2001 A Space Odyssey.

Along with Reinhard Heydrich and Adolf Eichmann, he was the key player in carrying out Hitler's "Final Solution", so good going Kelly, you just wished peace on a monster, *******.

That would be why he said:

My mother said she didn't become a racist until she turned 50. I honestly don't think she is a racist, but I think she feels like it's her job to play one on TV.
