The only nerd sites running obits seem to be slammed. Argh. This post really needs some more meat to it though. Preferably oversized deltoids.

But you won the race to get a post up! Good job! Your medal is in the mail!

I'm not usually one to snark, but a post that emphasizes "the look" and links to a wikipedia page with a single cover image?

I'll help out: here's Frank Fanzetta at images.google.com.

Single link wikipedia? Seriously?

graaa, when even the poster admits it is a weak FPP, it is a weak FPP.

delete. Post something worthy. When a fellow's life is boiled down to a link to Wikipedia things are bad.
