    Sorry, not MDC, but strangely apropos:

    Death has been proven to be 99% fatal in laboratory rats.

    Coincidence? I think not.*

    *Too soon?

      I thought the quote was, "Experiments have been show to cause cancer in rats."

        I thought the quote was, "Experiments have been show to cause cancer in rats."

        I'm sure that's a quote from someone too.

        But the one I copy/pasted from the bottom of the page* (scroll all the way down, there's always a quote on the bottom-right) was the one displayed when reading TFS. Given the subject of TFA, it seemed apropros.

        Hence my comment.

        *For example the quote I currently see (which I'm quite familiar with. If you're not, I encourage you to see the movie) is:

        How much for your women? I want to buy your daughter... how much for the little girl? --Jake Blues, "The Blues Brothers"

    Dude created the first proper 3D MMORPG of any notable size and was a pretty nice guy the few times I chatted with him. Sucks to lose folks like him.
