R I P of the day

Einstein Albert (b. 1879-04-14 / d. 1955-04-18)

He died at 1:15 AM in Princeton hospital in Princeton, New Jersey, on April 18, 1955 at the age of 76 from internal bleeding, which was caused by the rupture of an aortic aneurism, leaving the Generalized Theory of Gravitation unsolved.
An autopsy was performed on Einstein's barin. One found nothing unusual with his brain, but in 1999 further analysis by a team at McMaster University revealed that his parietal operculum region was missing and, to compensate, his inferior parietal lobe was 15% wider than normal. The inferior parietal region is responsible for mathematical thought, visuospatial cognition, and imagery of movement. Einstein's brain also contained 73% more glial cells than the average brain.

Oliver Taylor Hawkins was an American musician, widely known as the drummer for the rock band Foo Fighters, with whom he recorded eight studio albums between 1999 and 2021. Before joining the band in 1997, he was the touring drummer for Sass Jordan and for Alanis Morissette, as well as the drummer in the progressive experimental band Sylvia. On March 25, 2022, the Foo Fighters' official social media accounts announced that Hawkins, at age 50, had died with the cause of death being unconfirmed. In a statement by local health authorities, a call for emergency services was made because Hawkins was suffering from chest pain, while in his hotel room at the Casa Medina hotel in Bogotá, Colombia. Health personnel who attended the scene performed CPR. The band was on tour in South America at the time of the announcement and was scheduled to perform at the Estéreo Picnic Festival in Bogotá that night. The festival stage on which the Foo Fighters were to perform that night was turned into a candlelight vigil for Hawkins.

JE SUIS HEUREUX Paroles et musique: Jacques Debronckart, 1969 J'ai la télé, les deux chaînes et la couleur J'ai ma voiture et la radio à l'intérieur Mon logement qui prend tous les jours de la valeur Et l'espoir de gravir l'échelon supérieur Je suis HEUREUX. Une femme et deux fils qui n'obéissent guère A Chatou une résidence secondaire Le barbecue l'été, le feu de bois l'hiver Et pendant le mois d'août je me dore à la mer Je suis HEUREUX. Je sais choisir mon déodorant corporel Ma crème, mon tonic au parfum personnel Je comprends mieux ma femme, je me rapproche d'elle Je sais danser le jerk, j'ai un slip Rasurel Je suis HEUREUX. Ma femme sort sans moi quelquefois c'est son droit Elle a ses connaissances, ça ne me regarde pas Je vois tous les mardis une fille du nom d'Olga Elle a une bouche grande et ça compte pour moi Je suis HEUREUX. Je suis un homme de gauche mais la gauche a vieilli Il faut évoluer c'est la loi de la vie Je ne dis pas cela parce que je suis nanti D'ailleurs tout ce que j'ai, je l'ai eu à crédit Je suis HEUREUX. Si j'ai peur du cancer, j'ai pas peur des Chinois J'ai du coeur, j'ai donné dix francs pour le Biafra J'ai besoin d'érotisme, j'aime Barbarella Et De Funès et Dracula quand je les vois Je suis HEUREUX. Je rêve chaque nuit et des rêves barbares Je suis toujours pirate, cosaque ou tartare Egorgeur ou violeur, incendiaire ou pillard. Puis quand je me réveille au matin c'est bizarre Je suis HEUREUX. Je ne perds pas mes cheveux, je ne perds pas mes réflexes Je ne suis pas raciste, je n'ai pas de complexes Je suis bien dans mon âge, je suis bien dans mon sexe Aucune raison d'être angoissé ni perplexe Je suis HEUREUX. J'ai la télé, les deux chaînes et la couleur J'ai ma voiture et la radio à l'intérieur Mon logement qui prend tous les jours de la valeur Et l'espoir de gravir l'échelon supérieur JE SUIS HEUREUX... JE SUIS HEUREUX... JE SUIS HEUREUX
