Happy _whyday everybody! In honor of his absence, I've composed a little haiku that I think _why would appreciate. I think you'll agree it's quite ... like the man himself.

Ode to _why
_why the lucky stiff
his brain was rare in the world
hackety hack -- brilliant
_why the lucky stiff
we miss him even today
how very poignant
_why the lucky stiff
sometimes didn't make much sense
conjunctivitis
_why the lucky stiff
just up and left (poof)...
