Arthur who? (I really like the quote and want to use it elsewhere.)

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

Sir Arthur Charles Clarke, better known as Arthur C. Clarke. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_C._Clarke)

He's also the source of the more common "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" quotation.

I have always found it cool to share a birthday with Sir Arthur C. Clarke and with Ludwig van Beethoven.

Neil Gaiman!

Yeah, Gaiman would be cool, too.
