Aurthur C. Clarke is dead

[Dark Wyrm]

I don't know if this is the right place to post it, so it if isn't, please move it.

Anyway, the greatest sci-fi author of all time passed away. Aurthur C. Clarke dies at age 90

I knew most of you probably do not know who this is, but he is considered the father of the telecomunications satilite, and also the author of the books "2001: A Space Odessey" and "Childhood's End" just to name a few.

alas, another great one is dead.

No idea who that is, but it sucks I guess.

2001: Space Odessey? Fantastic movie (never read the book). I had no idea. Well, may he rest in peace.

[Eternal Paradox]

I've never read many of his books, but I do know he was instrumental in making Sci-Fi what it is today.

The Sci-Fi community just lost one of its greatest writers.

May he rest in peace.

All my favorite authors are dead.
