A Very Sad Day
Arthur C. Clarke is dead at 90.
I have't actually read anything by him, but I used to watch this show he hosted, something like "Strange Journeys With Arthur C. Clarke." It was basically an examination of allegations of the supernatural from UFO's and crystal skulls to the powers of meditation and poltergeists. He kept to the skeptical while maintaining an open mind that we don't know everything about this universe. He taught me that there are many unexplained and wonderful things in this world, and that we don't need to have a supernatural creator to make this world wonderful, it already is.
