I like the Postscript on his bulletin about having been diagnosed:
PS I would just like to draw attention to everyone reading the above that this should be interpreted as 'I am not dead'. I will, of course, be dead at some future point, as will everybody else. For me, this maybe further off than you think - it's too soon to tell. I know it's a very human thing to say "Is there anything I can do", but in this case I would only entertain offers from very high-end experts in brain chemistry.
I laughed that he thoughtfully included "I will of course be dead at some future point."

Crossfire: "Thank you! That explains it very nicely, and in a language that someone other than a physicist can understand..."
Denial is not falsification. You can't avoid a fact just because you don't like it.
"Data" is not the plural of "anecdote"

That might've been the Robert Jordan thread.
Anyway my grandmother suffered of alzheimers or so I've heard and it's sad to see it happen to such a great man as Pratchett. But as he said he's not dead yet and he probably has a couple of good years left ahead of him.

A man may fight for many things. His country, his friends, his principles, the glistening ear on the cheek of a golden child. But personally, I'd mud-wrestle my own mother for a ton of cash, an amusing clock and a sack of French porn.
