Yep, the crazy mad science man on the TV of my youth. And if ever a TV show needed resurrecting....
The Bible is full of interest. It has noble poetry in it; and some clever fables; and some blood-drenched history; and some good morals; and a wealth of obscenity; and upwards of a thousand lies.

Meanwhile, I have a late entry from 2017, and a loss that will definitely be regretted by many.
Disco, the talking budgie, made famous in a BBC video, and who remembered no less than 130 phrases (including his own hilarious take on the theme song of The Flintstones - see more of this here), died back in January 2017, but I've only just found out about this, because his owner was too distraught to break the news until much later.
Here's Disco's Facebook page.

She battled through in every kind of tribulation,
She revelled in adventure and imagination.
She never listened to no hater, liar,
Breaking boundaries and chasing fire.
Oh, my my! Oh my, she flies!

I cannot help but notice how many are dying relatively young. Granted some of this is self inflicted but it does makes one
more aware of ones own mortality. Not that my death bothers me but I do need to be aware that I also could go any time
Being in apparent good health is no automatic guarantee of longevity
