Douglas Adams- the guy who wrote The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy- died of a heart attack today, at 49. Jeez- I can remember how the first alcoholic drink I ever had (at about 16) was a gin and tonic (ick), because Adams wrote about them so much in the series... I found out about Hitchhiker's at about exactly the same time I discovered gaming... man, that rocks me. *sigh*
