What, no one cares? I'm sure there's more than a few Vonnegut fans on here.

Weird, that's exactly what a guy on another forum said about his death.

Kurt is in heaven now.

(For those of you who have read Man Without a Country, you know how ironic that statement was.)

It would be like Vonnegut to die from a bathroom-related injury.  No damn cat, and no damn cradle.

"So it goes" was Vonnegut's 'catch-phrase'.

Heh, I figured that when one of the American Voices from The Onion said the same thing about his death.
