[OT post] Fred is dead!

[Guest guest]

I always thought he was a cool nerdy guy.

I also liked the part of his show where he would go

on factory tours and show how certain things were

made. Definately a weird show, but kind of sweet and

just nice. Time marches on.... he will be missed.

Was he? I didn't know that. Very cool and not

offtopic for here after all.
