Now that perhaps the greatest television series in the history of Ever has come to an end (alas!), the proper obituary has been written and placed in the Albuquerque Journal.

New You Can Use
How to make perfect coffee. Funny, there is no mention of a Florence Siphon, which of course, helped inspire a fabulous scene in one of the greatest television shows in the history of Ever:
Poem of the Day
When I heard the learn’d astronomer,
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me,
When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them,
When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,
How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick,
Till rising and gliding out I wander’d off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.
--Walt Whitman, When I heard the Learn'd Astronomer.
And yes, I am a nerd:
