    He just came out with a book too, as I saw someone mention it in the book thread. I forgot about ER. They better do a nice finale. Clooney, come back for one episode!

Meanwhile, this airplane company is trying to seal a deal with China for some airplanes. It's getting pretty suspenseful.

    Anyhow, I want to finish it so I can start reading my next book; "Scar Tissue" by Anthony Kiedis.

    What book are you reading?

    RIP

    But how do you die unexpectedly from cancer?
    My whole life looked like a picture of a sunny day.

    Damn.

    My fave book of his is Eaters of the Dead---later republished as the 13th Warrior.


    RIP.
    So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream
    Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me

    A great author RIP.
    Don't forget he also wrote and directed "Westworld", one of the best sci-fi movies from the 1970's.

    after looking at the photos, I wonder if Westworld was ever on Mystery Science Theatre 3K?! J/K....I'm sure it was good.

    RIP to a great talent.
    I loved Sphere, Congo (fricking frightening!), and especially the Terminal Man.
    He will always be remembered.
    Peace to his friends and family.
    Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
    And I don't feel right when you're gone away

    I heard he got taken out by a Cancersaurus Rex. Is that true?

    I think Yul Brynner's gunslinger robot character in Westworld was based on the part he played in the original "Magnificent Seven" western?
