His show on Nickelodeon, Mr Wizard’s World, was one of my favorites; it was cool, it was fun, it was smart, it was educational, and it had girls my age on it…

He died of Cancer today at age 89.
Respect.

I can’t help but think that that his death, due to a stingray striking him through the heart, was probably the way he would have chosen to go. Certainly better than dying in a car wreck, right?

Steve Irwin, dead at 44.

Respect.
