Science Luminary Martin Gardner Dead at 95 96

From James Randi's blog comes word that science writer Martin Gardner has died at the age of 95. I never met Gardner, but one of his books (Entertaining Science Experiments With Everyday Objects) has been a favorite of mine since I was 6 or 7 years old; I didn't realize until just now quite how many books he authored.

I guess the pirates finally got his last coin. Or he finally ate the chocolate square with the soap on it.
