Christopher Hitchens...

...woke up dead this morning. Not unexpectedly; that outcome is guaranteed to all of us.

As a celebrated atheist who spent much of his life bashing God and godbotherers, he's now knowing the final answer: either he has an immortal soul that was collected and returned to it's Maker (or, perhaps rejected and sent somewhere, maybe to be reborn as a goat-fucking Iranian) or he spent his life as just another planet-bound animal with a short lifespan and a mildly-swollen brain case; in which case he's returned to the nothing from whence he came, quickly to be forgotten.

Either way, sayanora. Wouldn't want to be like you were, really.
