Michael Crichton is dead!

Although he did lie about bacteria replicating until they reached the mass of the Earth in one day (we proved it in Math 102 @ UBC), the man was still a very entertaining author. I was not aware of this man's death until now because apparently he isn't that famous. This is the guy that wrote Jurassic Park, one of the most popular books/movies of all time. If his death wasn't publicized that much, does that mean people will forget about him. Sure, his family will always remember him and he'll always have the books he wrote as a legacy, but eventually all of this will fade into obscurity( does all my pessimism have to do with it being exam week?). Just look at Wallace (if you're not sure who I'm talking about, this only further proves my point), as in the co-creator of the theory of evolution. He must have thought he would become a legend after his discovery but no, no one outside of the intense Bio nerds is even aware of his existence. I guess the only chance for us ordinary people (no offence intended if you read this and go on to be a difference maker in the world) is to preserve our remains in diamond form. All it will cost is around $10000 of your or your children's hard earned money.
