Arthur C. Clarke - a limerick remembrance

Arthur C. Clarke gave us stories.
With science facts and fictional mores.
So when we do build our Hal,
(that uncooperative pal)
We should put him in geosynchronous orbit.

Inspired by a Twitter from Jim Benson this morning. I'd like better, but am going for immediacy.

I do believe HAL was left in geosynch... :-)

Ha ha ha. That's great. I didn't remember that, but it would be just right.

The unconscious is a wonderful thing ... sometimes.
