I'm sad she has passed, but I never liked her comedy. I do appreciate her icon-ship and longevity. Two comedians in the last month. Sad.

I bet when she realized she was about to die, she found it hard to swallow.

Oh, that's just so wrong! 
I'm guessing that, with so many facelifts in her past, when the poor sod that worked on her throat opened her up, he pierced her appendix.

Good ole plasticine face. Was the surgery something that was required to fix a real problem or save her life, or was it superficial like her plastic surgery?

Well, wikipedia says that she was in for an operation on her vocal chords, so I'd guess at option #2 - non life-saving procedure that cost her her life.

I don't know if you'd call it a real problem, but over the decades I've noticed a serious change in her voice, as if she'd been gargling with Drano. I've read that she was trying to restore her formerly smooth talking voice from its recent rasping tone. Given her profession, I'd consider that fairly important to her career, akin to a programmer having treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome.

I would like to download and read your book (I recently failed horribly at a Functional Programming exam), but I have to create an account and my company name is mandatory. I guess this website is not meant for individuals... 
They even want to know my phone number, what the hell are they going to call me for? 
It's an OO world.

I sent them my resumé, but they never called back...

Downloaded the book! 
I've had to read Programming in Haskell by Graham Hutton[^] for a course on the Open University.
Nothing wrong with the book, but it never compares the functional way to the imperative way.
But as a C# programmer I find it pretty difficult to think functional because imperative comes more natural to me!
With this book I'm sure I'm going to ace my re-exam for functional programming!

I wouldn't worry about it. I registered in order to download Mr. Clifton's earlier book using the email and office phone where I was working (as a contractor) at the time. I used to get email from them quite regularly but never a phone call. Before that contract ended, I switched the email to a personal one and haven't heard from them since.
If only I could remember my password, I could get Mr. Clifton's latest. Hmm, I'll need to look into that.
I also got several other useful e-books from them, I'd say, "Go for it!".

Good read, Marc. Exactly what the doctor ordered.
Thanks for publishing. Honestly I would even pay for this book.
