    Belated, for sure, but I have issues accessing the site from home (I'm at work >.>)

    As you may or may not know, George Carlin passed away due to heart failure a few days ago. Quite possibly one of the greatest comedians of our era, this is a fairly sad occurence, at least to those who enjoy comedy.

    George Carlin definitely made this world a lot smarter...broke a lot of taboos and was awesome while doing it. I'm sure gonna miss him.

    A quote of his that describes him PERFECTLY: "I think it's the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately. "

    Also, not really descriptive, but still funny: "Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy."

    Yeah, he was one of the best comedians ever.

    You know who else was a sad loss: Charles Heston. (Late as hell but still)
