We're old.

Rest in peace Professor, and thank you for enhancing my childhood.

Gilligan's Island "Professor", Russell Johnson, Dead at 89.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

- Thomas Jefferson

Another one I hate to see go. 
“My mission today is to go forth and tell people about why I follow Christ and also what the Bible teaches, and part of that teaching is that women and men are meant to be together.

“However, I would never treat anyone with disrespect just because they are different from me. We are all created by the Almighty and like Him, I love all of humanity. We would all be better off if we loved God and loved each other.”
Phil Robertson an elder in the church of Christ

The Professor was already pretty much a type cast type, when he got the Gilligan's Island gig.  He was in a lot of cheesy sci-fi movies in the 50's, as a professor type.  He did it well, also.

RIP.
