Micheal Crichton has passed away

One last note and a moment of silence for Micheal Crichton.

The famous author and man behind the ground-breaking dinosaur-centric novel passed away recently (perhaps the very novels that misled a famous governor to claim man and dinosaurs walked together?).

Aah, he was a brilliant author; he will be dearly missed. RIP.
