Here is a fellow that did massively more than any modern "celebrity".

He will be missed, but his life's work continues.

Had he been a "judge" on some moronic show then he would be in the TV news right now.

He's definitely contributed more to humanity than Simon Cowell.

The opening line of the article amuses me - calling the telescope photogenic!

True about Cowell. It is a sad statement on society when names of people one stepout of rehab or jail are on the tip of every kid's tongue, yet they can't name anyone of importance.

Clever guy, but not how you'd imagine I mean that...

I guess you could argue he was equally star struck as the people on X Factor, but at least the X Factor don't ask for "ample Govt funding" for this pointless star gazing, soaking up $m of taxpayers money just to look up a metal pipe at the sky all night. Where ever he is now, possibly in the heaven he patently failed to spot, he must be laughing his cock off for all the money that was lavished on his pointless waste of time.

Call me a palestine, but I for one couldn't give a fk if he's dead or alive. IMO his existence was irrelevant, and he had about the same level of impact on my life as little Owghen Quigg who came third in 2008.

Really, so the study of the heavens and the existence of unknown particles which are now being looked for, and the discovery of which may one day benefit your life in ways you cannot imagine—is a waste of time?

Yes it's a complete and utter wate of time and money, only slightly less annoying than the pompous and offensive clap-trap written in the OP's eulogy to Professor Feckwit.

How on earth is discovering Moribund - moon of the planet Esophagus - ever going to benefit me or anyone else? It's all cobblers, that dead bloke was a money grabbing fraudster who should have been locked up in gaol like a common MP.

I'm not against research science per se, CERN etc, but star gazing and somehow saying it will greatly benefit mankind... total rubbish. Astrologers like that guy are just a bunch of layabouts, at least Alexandra Burke has nice legs and she doesn't eat up tax dollars...

When compared to what passes for celebrities these days, it is far less subjective than you may think. wink

I think he was referring to a simpler phuckup; like not knowing the difference in Palestine and Palestinian. hehe

Well you said he'd done "more than any celebrity" didn't you? That to my mind is pretty high-handed eulogising if you ask me. So you're saying he's done more than Bob Geldoff in saving the starving in Africa? Or the people from Sport Relief? Or given more pleasure to more people than Frank Sinatra? I could go on for ever... suffice to say I found your views really quite pitiful.

I'm terribly sorry if your tenuous grasp of the English language fails to let you see how far up your own rectum you appear on this matter (in this instance only, as I normal find you quite amusing and inciteful;) ) but the irony of an American calling me a dimwit, well, it's like rain on your wedding day when all you need is a spoon (as sung by Ruth Lorenzo on X Factor 08)

I wrote one sentence and you classify that as a "pompous eulogy"? There is no irony is me as an American calling you a dimwit, except in your own elevated opinion of yourself. Perhaps it is you, not I, who is so far up his own a$$ with a poor grasp of the English language as evidenced by your consistent horrible spelling and ignorant proclamations. As I said, dimwit! hehe
