Pro-nuke people love to point out that there's about 4000 (?) deaths associated with coal power for each single death associated with nuclear power. Time to increase that figure again I guess.
Not sure I had a point beyond that...

They know about Centralia, Pensylvania, right? Coal mine fire there...started in 1962. Still burning.

His mum has posted on his Facebook page that he died this morning, it hasn't made the news sites yet.
I first posted about him a few weeks ago when he had made his final post and was expected to die. His lung had collapsed and he couldn't talk anymore. He hung on for a few days before couching up a tumour, his lung reinflated and a few days later he was able to leave hospital.
He was able to then break a world record to tick something else off his bucket list.
A day or two ago however his condition again deteriorated and he was back in hospital, tumours again blocking his air ways and his family said it was not looking good and he could no longer communicate.
When he first hit the national news a few weeks ago he brought out the best in the nation and donations to his just giving page soared to over three million.
Then he brought out the worst in some as people began to complain that he wasn't dead enough and took to Twitter to complain that everyone who had donated has been conned.
As I said last time he faced cancer head on, and he done good.

R.I.P. Stephen, I guess I was gone when you first started posting but he seems to have been a fine young man something the world is sorely lacking.
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!

About the record:
His record was getting the most people to make a "heart-shaped hand gesture". The event took place at Stephen's former school, Chase Terrace Technology College and involved 554 people
What ? Only 554 people ? So take any music live event, or sport event in a stadium, make them all do the hand gesture, and this record is blown !!

Yeah, that is the way with lots of these records.
Not sure how the verification takes place once it gets bigger.
My sister in law and niece were two of the 554.

They can count dozens of penguins using satellites, so I believe this must be somehow possible.

I'm sorry, so very, very sorry, but the typo did set it up so beautifully.

RIP, Steven. You went out meaningfully.

No perhaps not.
