Happy 90th Birthday, Ray Bradbury!

You’ve probably already seen Rachel Bloom’s brilliant and completely NSFW video dedicated to the legendary author (which Bradbury himself reportedly loved and which is available on iTunes, where it’s a huge hit):

From Facebook, here is a photo of Bradbury watching the video, thereby “completing Rachel’s life”:

Here, she explains his appeal:

First of all, the number one thing I am earnestly attracted to is intelligence. Writers are thus the pinnacle of intelligence.

Sweet, I completely concur.

While actors are great and awesome, writers literally create new worlds from scratch. What is sexier than that? Personally, I don’t know why every person out there isn’t dating a writer.

Oh. She means that kind of writer. Yeah, no world creating for me. Oh well.

But anyway, here’s the actual man of the hour and not just his most adoring fan (but again via her):

Sundaily Hilarity: God Answers Prayer Of Paralyzed Little Boy

Daniel Fincke — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 15:16:51 +0000

An Onion classic from 1998:

SAN FRANCISCO–For as long as he can remember, 7-year-old Timmy Yu has had one precious dream: From the bottom of his heart, he has hoped against hope that God would someday hear his prayer to walk again. Though many thought Timmy’s heavenly plea would never be answered, his dream finally came true Monday, when the Lord personally responded to the wheelchair-bound boy’s prayer with a resounding no.

“I knew that if I just prayed hard enough, God would hear me,” said the joyful Timmy, surrounded by stuffed animals sent by well-wishing Christians from around the globe, as he sat in the wheelchair to which he will be confined for the rest of his life. “And now my prayer has been answered. I haven’t been this happy since before the accident, when I could walk and play with the other children like a normal boy.”

And the loving God spoke expressed His loving thought process directly when reached for comment:

“This kind-hearted child’s simple prayer hath moved Me. Never before have I seen such faith. His trusting soul, so full of innocent devotion to Me, hath offered seventy times seven prayers asking, ‘God? Can I please walk again?’ It was indeed right and fitting that I, in My infinite wisdom, should share with him the One True Answer to this long-repeated question he put before Me.”

“My will be done,” God added.
