1. Hail Eris!!! All Hail Discordia!!!

RIP RAW, see you soon...

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. The Illuminati finally had him killed.

Sad.

[villager]

7. But the Illuminati has their puppet in the oval office n' everything...

The media spouts their blather, etc.

Didn't they wait too long?

[Rabrrrrrr]

14. Or else he's not really dead, but has been reassigned to help the Gnomes of Zurich

Probably just a big cover up.

I wonder who's body that will really be in the casket at the "funeral".

[villager]

15. we need him to do "deeper" research now, anyway...

;-)

3. Dammit!

I knew this was coming but man, this sucks. RAW was a brilliant mind w/ a sly, winking soul....

[kedrys]

4. Aw crap.

Major bummer. RAW, we hardly knew ya...your stay in this dimension was all too short. See you on the other side. :(

8. I bought that damn book.

There was something about George Washington being an imposter, then some dude fucking a giant apple.

Totally unreadable.

[Rick Myers]

10. I read it as 3 books in 1976!!!

It was a LIFE experience. RAW was something very special!

13. I bought it because I wanted a nice long sci-fi read.

I should have guessed what I was in for, considering it was next to the L. Ron Hubbard series.

11. All the interesting people are dead

At least we get to join them (I HOPE!) when we're (I HOPE) ready. I'm not ready!!!!!!!!!

A true original. Not that many of those.

17. Bon Voyage, 23 Skidoo and So It Goes

A great voice has passed. We will miss you.

from RAW's blog:

Wavy Gravy once asked a Zen Roshi, "What happens after death?"

The Roshi replied, "I don't know."

Wavy protested, "But you're a Zen Master!"

"Yes," the Roshi admitted, "but I'm not a dead Zen Master."

18. Farewell, co-inspiration of my nom de screen

May flights of pigs moo you to your rest.

[Ahpook]

19. Good night

See you, friend:)

[baldguy]

RIP RAW

21. Hail Eris!

Fnord!

Eat a hotdog in rememberance (no bun).

[Octafish]

22. Voyage in Peace, Wilson!

May he see again his child, whose life was taken in a robbery many years ago.

[Chichiri]

24. *sad*

I'll miss you, Bob. And I'm sorry, ever so sorry, that I never actually finished the Illuminatus! trilogy. I suppose I'll have to now . . . sigh . . . but oh well, I'll miss you anyway. Forever.

Fnord.

[Starry Messenger]

25. RIP

Wow, not two days ago I was listening to all the bad news and thinking, "Well, at least Robert Anton Wilson is still with us." :(

He'll be sadly missed. And not just because of the unfinished Historical Illuminati series.
