You may be interested to know that Arthur C. Clarke, co-author of 2001: A Space Odyssey, died tomorrow. (He was, at the time, on the other side of the International Date Line, which is how I can accurately predict this. Kind of like my birth in Japan, where it was Monday morning, and my dad called my granddad and said something like, "Tomorrow at such and such time your grandson will be born; he'll weigh 6 pounds 6 ounces and be 21 inches long...") Looking at his partial bibliography on Wikipedia, I see I have a lot more of his stuff to read. If you haven't read the article above (or here), it's kind of interesting.
But now I must go eat and watch Bee Movie...
