Headlines like that really should be divulged to the subject before their death. It's shame they miss out on the chuckle.

You were downvoted for this comment, but it was merged from a previous thread where it made much more sense in context:

The original thread was a link to The Register which had this headline:

Larry Tesler cut and pasted from this mortal coil

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2020/02/19/larry_tesler/

I also found The Register's headline pretty funny and apropos, and I am sure that if Larry is looking down on us, he got a chuckle out of it too!

Thanks for clarifying the situation. Karma come, karma go.

Sorry! When merging threads, we always try to exempt the comments that only make sense in the original context. I even saw your comment and recognized it as such but it must have slipped through my fingers somehow. We've repatriated it now. (Of course now these replies are out of context, but oh well.)

This could almost be a scene from the great Firesign Theatre album How Can You Be in Two Places at Once When You're Not Anywhere at All:

And I'm certain that Larry would appreciate the reference! ;-)

All hail Marx and Lennon!

p.s. If you happen to see this, aklemm, your username - or at least a possible pronunciation of it - plays a role in another Firesign Theatre album, I Think We're All Bozos on This Bus:
