I just found out tonight. George Carlin died from heart failure today, Sunday June 22 (Well was Sunday, but it's now past midnight here) at 6 p.m. PDT (9 p.m. EDT).

He will be greatly missed by the Comedic public. He was a great Cross- cultural comedian and I hope his family fares well after this event. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080623/us_nm/carlin_dc if anyone would like to read more about it. I loved how this man made me laugh, it's a shame he died at his age. I know he still had a few years left in him...

He's an American comedian, not Canadian.

But he was easily one of the most brilliant comedians ever, it's a real shame.

Anyway he will be missed, definitely had a few laughs after listening to this guy.

Well. Thank my mom. I guess I can finally call her an Idiot for a change :P

(btw. Thanks EoT... I don't think I'll ever believe my mom again XD )

I've really liked listening to him in the past and it was kinda disappointing when I heard he died. :(
