I really don't want to know, but there has to be some pretty messed up shit going on behind Ebert's "turtleneck". I guess it beats being dead though.

Poor Roger. Sat next to him on a flight once. He was listening to Jazz on his CD player...

Man I didn't know. That sucks. I wish him well and hopefully he did beat the cancer bug. Of coarse not before it did some damage obviously. Being my passed father's bday will be next week, cancer I feel partically touched by anyone going thru all that.

I haven't seen his pic in probably 10-15 years, and I thought "who is that old lady with Orca, and what does this have to do with Roger Ebert?"

Man that has to suck to have to go through something like that.

I was wondering about his pic myself, saw it the other day and thought there was no way thats Ebert, its a woman...poor dude. Im interested to see how his gismo works that allows him to "speak".

I think he just types what he wants to say in to a computer and the computer speaks, but because they have at least hundreds of hours of his voice recorded they could create a computer "voice" that sounds like his old one.

yup. I was reading it thinking, 'ok, when does this get funny?', I thought it was some joke article. Then I started googling. Ouch, poor guy.

I thought he was dead!
