Yeah, we were talking about him here a while back. Rambi posted a link to the story about his trip with the weather balloons, and we all got a big kick out of that, but then Gauguin told us that he committed suicide after he got out of prison, and that really depressed me. Just when I think my opinion of human nature can't get any worse, it does. I guess I need to read up on the facts, but I can't imagine convicting that turkey of anything other than being a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

Correction, looks like the weather balloon guy never did time, he was convicted and paid a fine. OK, I feel better.
