Probably Pratchett, seeing as he just had a stroke.

As far as I know, TP hasn't had a 'proper' stroke, but has been diagnosed with a rare for of Alzheimer's [which caused a 'phantom stroke'].

I thought 2010 was a great movie.
2001 was a great film. when mentioning it one time with my husband's fmaily I said I suspected that the last 20 minutes only really really worked if you were stoned. Then his uncle said something like "It was the only way to see it."
Not only did I do a double take but so did his 20 something daughter.
