RIP Erik.


I have been a big fan of his since I first saw him on mythbusters. I had several conversations with him on the tripoli forums. I was shocked to see the dedication at the end of the most recent episode of mythbusters.

RIP Erik Gates. Your talents will never be forgotten.

The episode of MythBusters which aired last night (Monday 28 December 2009, "Mini-Myths") included at the end a credit screen in memorial to Mr. Gates. That was darn thoughtful of them, and I choked up over it.
