    The kid with the teardrops is definitely gonna pay for them. I hear the hard-core prison gangsters don't take kindly to pretenders.

    Carl was actually a pretty cool guy. I chatted with him a few times at meetings when I was a grad student, and he was always very approachable and encouraging. Watching "Cosmos" when I was in high school cemented my decision to go into astrophysics. I'm currently re-reading his last book "The Demon Haunted World". We lost a great communicator of science when he died. In our age of specialization, Carl had a breathtaking breadth of knowledge. The world could use more people like him and fewer of the idiots like those about whom this topic started.
