Don't really come as a big surprise as he's been sick for a while. Still sad though.

At least he did his fans the kindness of going on a Saturday. That way we can get properly hammered in his honour!  ;D


Seriously though, a notable loss to the world.  :(

I'm watching Penn and Teller's "Bullshit": "Holier than thou" episode which features Christopher Hitchens.

Much love <3
"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

I liked this one, simple, wise and to the point:

Is it too modern to notice that there is nothing [in the ten commandments] about the protection of children from cruelty, nothing about rape, nothing about slavery, and nothing about genocide? Or is it too exactingly "in context" to notice that some of these very offenses are about to be positively recommended?
