So Long, Robin Williams...
We all woke up to the news that one
of the greatest comedians had passed away last night ( Aug' 11, 2014).
The whole world becries this fact, refusing to believe we lost such a
rare comedic talent, an incredbile actor, and a delightful human being,
succumbing to depression after years of battle.
