Terry took Death’s arm and followed him through the doors and on to the black desert under the endless night.

Another linked to a formal statement about his death that announced: "It is with immeasurable sadness that we announce that author Sir Terry Pratchett has died at the age of 66."

A fourth simply said "The End.”

I'm not really good at fun-to-know, human interest stuff. We're not 'celebrities', whose life itself is a performance.

Good or bad or ugly, we are our words. They're what people meet.

Terry Pratchett

And my favorite:

Writing is the most fun you can have by yourself.

Terry Pratchett

He will be missed.

So a young couple were parked at the local make out spot when the young lady looked out the passenger side window and saw the car bext to them rocking back and forth, the widows covered in steam. She looked at her date and asked, "What are they doing over there?"

"Ah...um, they're making sandwiches."

"Oh." She replied as she looked past him and saw the car on his side was rocking back and forth, the windows just as steamed up, "And over there?"

"Um, sandwiches too."

"That looks like fun, can we make sandwiches?"

"Ah sure."

The young couple became so engrossed in their sandwich making that they missed the girl's curfew and as they arrived at her house, her father met them with a loaded shotgun in his arms. The young woman jumped out and ran to her father, "Please Daddy, don't shoot him; we were just making sandwiches!"

"Mmm hmmm, and I suppose that's mayonnaise running down your leg!"

Subj:.....Beer Temperature Tester (S453b)
From: darrell94590 on 9/20/2005

I thought I would give you some enlightenment on the finer points of drinking beer. For the truly discriminating aficionado, a glass of the finest beer should only be partaken if it is the correct temperature. The subtle nuance of the melded grains..... the fragile and fleeting taste of the brewers art..... can only be truly appreciated if that golden elixir is properly chilled.

To this end, advanced studies candidates in the Graduate Engineering Department of Texas A&M University have developed an easily used fully portable Beer Temperature Tester which easily indicates whether the beverage is acceptably chilled or not.

To test the beer, simply insert the tester into the glass.

After the tester has been immersed for a period of no less than fifteen seconds, remove both probes and observe the indication.
