Watch yourself, Opie.
Not only was he the king of small-screen-science, he also served as a World War II Army Air Corps pilot, actor, and... male model. An intellectual and a ladykiller. You'll be missed.

Gone to the Great Laboratory in the Sky
Sad news today from the seldom-meshing worlds of entertainment and science--Mr. Wizard has passed away at the age of 89 from bone cancer. Mr. Wizard, or Don Herbert, had his original show in the 50s and 60s, and then more recently a show during my childhood in the 80s. He aimed to show kids that science could be fun, and that they could mimic his experiments with household objects.
Watch yourself, Opie.
