		Puck lamented "the loss of this gifted man and his potential." "His talent, wit, intelligence and passion for his work made an indelible impact on all of us who knew him," the restaurateur said.
		Bonaccorsi, who managed Spago's wine cellar and oversaw wine service there for a decade, had also consulted and performed staff training for Puck's other restaurants, including Chinois on Main in Santa Monica and Granita in Malibu.
		Michael Bonaccorsi, a protege of famed restauranteur Wolfgang Puck, and possibly the best young sommelier in the country, died from a heart attack, just two years after establishing his own boutique wine company, Bonaccorsi Wine, and getting married, and at the apex of what was surely to be a stunning career.

	Pac Man celebrates his 25th birthday - May. 10, 2005
		Pac Man's original name was Puck Man -- but a savvy executive at Bally/Midway, which distributed the game in the United States, had it changed on all machines, fearing what game room vandals would do with the original moniker.
		While we take knowing the name of today's heroes and villains for granted, Pac Man was the first video game to name its characters (the ghosts, to jog your memory, were Inky, Pinky, Blinky and Clyde) and the first game to offer interludes as rewards for advancing.
		In fact, legend has it Iwatani actually wanted Pac Man to be a pizza, but technological limitations at the time made it impossible.

		The original arcade machine is now exhibited at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, while some of the generation who grew up playing with Pac now, like their rotund hero, spend most of their time munching pills while listening to repetitive music.

		The whole "man on the moon" deal is just the carrot on the stick to get the foolish taxpayers to subsidize all NASA's high-tech industry.
		I dont really know where all the money is coming from for the space work, and I do agree we need to take care of our problems here in the US for our people before trying to send people to the moon to build a space station.
		I don't care much for government to begin with, but if there is one thing I hope we as a people continue to do with all our ability - it's space exploration.
