RIP.
Takes a real one to put the fictional heroes in their proper place.

Mandela has been a hero of mine since I did a project on him in high school, as he was to many.
Been reading the news coverage all weekend. Some interesting and touching articles, tributes and words spoken about him.
Even if no one feels like replying I'd just like to have the thread itself as my own little tribute.
The Funeral will take place Sunday, December 15th in Qunu, the village in Eastern Cape where he was born.
The DRUDGE REPORT is saying
WORLD PREPARES FOR BIGGEST FUNERAL SINCE CHURCHILL
