Again? Why won't the dead just stay that way. It's unnatural. Oh, this is a repost. I thought RAW had a brief stint as an Illuminated zombie.

That was news to me.

This is why we have nice things. To bring them out of cold storage on occasion and admire them again.

I'm sorry. Chaos and crazy times just got the better of me.

In other news, James Brown still valiantly fighting to remain dead.

Now, it just needs to be posted 21 more times, for synchronicity's sake

We need Chevy Chase to make it official: "Robert Anton Wilson is still dead!"

S'ok alteredcarbon, I suspect you might have been whistling while you were pissing, which you shouldn't do.

And I thought I was having a rough week.

He may have died the other day, but it wasn't until today that he left his body. But where did he leave it, you might ask? What does it matter, he's dead isn't he?
posted by blue_beetle at 1:29 PM on January 12, 2007

I'm going to eat that body.

He has had a rather promethean immortality so far.

I'll wait until Netcraft confirms it, thanks.

Only the living keep dying.

I thought this meant that he had covered his body with leaves.

Hey, buddy, that's no lady, that's Robert Anton Wilson's corpse.

Remember when we had obituaries only once a month or so, then recently it has been like every other day, mostly folks you have never even heard of (Mr. Wilson excepted) and now dear Wilson goes up twice. Enough with the dead already.

I heard he emerged from the bottom of a Scottish loch with four Nazi battalions which had been lying dormant there for the past 60 years.

I remember the first time I ever heard of this guy. I think it was when he died the first time.
