Kurt Vonnegut, RIP

I once heard Vonnegut eulogize the recently deceased president of the Secular Humanism Society. He somberly climbed up to the podium, lifted his eyes toward the heavens, and intoned, "Well, he's in a better place now." Everybody roared with laughter.

So God bless you Mr. Vonnegut, for tackling all the serious questions with heart and humor. Your last book sucked, but you gave me so much to chew on over the years... I can't thank you enough.
