Derrida passed away on Saturday after a long battle with cancer. By far one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century.

Rest in Peace, Jacques.

Many many many of our inside jokes in college were about Derrida's theories.

Derrida's The Gift of Death is probably the #2 most influential book I've read during my college career.

Me and my best friend have a lot of deconstructionist/postmodern jokes. My birthday present from her last year was a "Build your own postmodern movie" kit.
