The world just got a lot less funny.

The world’s comedy IQ dropped by about 150 points this Sunday at 5:55 in the evening. When the man who many would call the greatest comedian of all time died of heart failure. Forever his death will be mourned as recordings of his great successes remind us of his ability to make us laugh and smile.

George Carlin, to me, was the greatest comedian ever to attempt the art. He is survived by his Wife, daughter Kelly, and a seventy-one year long legacy. It is a crushing thought that the last we shall ever hear of him lays within his recorded works. His work entertained generations, and though he has passed away now I trust that with his recorded pieces he will continue to make future generations laugh for decades to come.

Goodbye George, I really would have liked to have shaken your hand.
