Stephen Jay Gould, you have added to the knowledge of the human race and we thank you. May God bless you and greet you with open arms.

What knowledge did he add? The lie of punk-eek - a totally unverifiable and unverified theory? And why should the Lord which he attacked, demeaned and worked so hard to dissuade others to ignore receive him with open arms? He will be lucky if he spends a long time in purgatory.

[Hunble]

O how they cling and wrangle, some who claim
For preacher and monk the honored name!
For, quarreling, each to his view they cling.
Such folk see only one side of a thing.

Gore3000, for someone as blind as you,
that is the only answer you are entitled to.

For the rest of us, we mourn the loss of a great mind today.
