Sad news for sure. I was never a Star Trek fan, but this is sad for me. There are few more iconic personalities.

Don't smoke, people.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

He lived long and prospered. Sad
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.

Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.

Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.

Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.

Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

Damn. I've never been a Star Trek fan, but I've always liked him.

Of course, there's nothing to be sad about. He lived to be 83!

It is not logical. But it is... human.

They should take his body to the genesis planet. It worked in the third movie.

The clip in the article about where the Vulcan greeting came from is charming.

Not much into ST, but he seemed like a decent guy.

Damn...just, damn.

I have no shame in saying I'm a trekkie. Watched every episode, and still Spock was my favorite character.

FTFY.

Just kidding.

Sort of.

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.
