Robert Anton Wilson's blog was a short lived affair. (via Growabrain)

Started on December 5th 2006 with this entry:
Wavy Gravy once asked a Zen Roshi, "What happens after death?" The Roshi replied, "I don't know." Wavy protested, "But you're a Zen Master!" "Yes," the Roshi admitted, "but I'm not a dead Zen Master."
A month later he posted this:
Various medical authorities swarm in and out of here predicting I have between two days and two months to live. I think they are guessing. I remain cheerful and unimpressed. I look forward without dogmatic optimism but without dread. I love you all and I deeply implore you to keep the lasagna flying. Please pardon my levity, I don't see how to take death seriously. It seems absurd.
Five days later he died. The post announcing his death received 1232 comments.



He led an amazing life, writing 35 books and tons of other stuff. He listed his occupation in his Blogger profile as 'Mind Fucker'. His Guardian obit is HERE.
