Well done! +1

Brilliant headline!

He didn't die.

He simply deconstructed the paradigm of life.

That makes me blue.

100? Damn good run, it sounded like he packed a lot of living into those years.

/magnificent headline too

Recoil Therapy: 100? Damn good run, it sounded like he packed a lot of living into those years.

I was expecting him to make it to 501.

I wonder what denim in... He seamed healthy enough.

I didn't even know he was sick.

I don't get it. He didn't have anything to do with genes. Yes, I get the jeans reference. But "jeans" is equally as nonsensical as "genes". He did, however, write a lot related to memes.

/He will be mythed.

Hey, he's got my birthday. Here's to hoping I live that long!

sweddjen: /He will be mythed.

Nice.

Sad he's gone but damn did he have a life.

A good run. I remember studying him lots.

i didn't know he was still alive.

Nice subby, but I still prefer the headline I submitted: "Farkers, let us all lower our jeans to half-mast"

Farewell Pioneer, O' Pioneer.

I still think going for a jeans-joke is lowbrow and too obvious. Never underestimate fark to grab the low-hanging fruit.

Patent law will be unraveled in the next few decades.

Did he go out raw or cooked?

He was still alive? I had to read his crap back in Anthro 101, I thought he had been dead for 20 years then.

Pfff. I have had too many classes that concentrated on this man. He gave me a headache. I have to be able to regurgitate his "structuralist" approach. UGH! End my misery!

He was a panthropologist, right?

I'm surprised Arial Sharon and Fidel Castro are still alive.

Others you may not know are still alive:
Harper Lee
JD Salinger
Zsa Zsa Gabor
Abigail Van Buren
Betty Ford
Gloria Vanderbilt
Dr Ruth Westheimer
C Everett Koop
Ed Koch
B B King

/time to update the deadpool

His mind will be missed, but he had a long life, and was pretty with it to the end. I'll always be jealous of his writing and ability to put so much meaning into just one or two sentences. I read some of his work before doing my own writing just to try to get my mind in shape...like stretching before a run.

Thus the distinctive features which are the product of phonemic analysis have an objective existence from three points of view: psychological, physiological and even physical; they are fewer in number than the phonemes which result from their combination; and, finally, they allow us to understand and reconstruct the system.

Wow, he outlived Abe Vigoda.

Perhaps the Tleilaxu can grow a ghola version from an atoxl tank.

He had a langue and successful career, but his parole is donne.

Primitive people the world over mourn his passing.

I read his stuff in the context of structuralist literary theory. He was a man whose work transcended academic discipline.

"The scientific mind does not so much provide the right answers as ask the right questions."

That, to me, makes him a philosopher, and I've admired him as long as I've been aware of him.

Pretty much this. RIP though.

Goodnight, blue jeans man.

/low-hanging fruit indeed
//appreciated his contributions to anthropology
///a candidate for humanist sainthood, in my book

Riveting.

Paging Loren Eisely...paging Loren Eisely....Mr. Eisely, it appears that your snow leopard has been found. He's being cared for by a simple country woman who's eyes reflect an eons-old lineage that somehow, obliquely, across the light of the campfire, has something to do with someone called Mr. Levi-Strauss. Please collect your animal and report to Fark for examination. Bring the woman with you. that is all...

Studied that abstruse bullshiat for years.

/Postmodernity dances on the grave of the episteme!

I heard he dyed on 501... the jeans on the floor, not the time.
His washed up mom jeans was torn to shreds.

Holy snap. I googled totemism just now because I remembered that I didn't understand it in college. It turns out that it's exactly how I think of religion today. People who don't respect a liberal arts approach to education are poorer for it.
I also thought he died decades ago.

*sigh*

*shakes head*

*no words*
