The King of instant ramen dies aged 96

[Blitzkommando]

"OSAKA (Kyodo) Momofuku Ando, the founder of Nissin Food Products Co. and inventor of instant ramen, died of heart failure Friday evening at a hospital in Ikeda, Osaka Prefecture, his family said. He was 96."

Japan Times article (http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20070107a2.html)

Since just about everyone has had at least one cup of the stuff I figured it was an interesting read, especially for all the students who eat it constantly.

NOOO!!! I wish I could've met him...
P.S. OSAKA (Kyodo) Momofuku Ando, If you are reading this from a higher place, thank you for all the ramen http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/cat.gif

Actually, Osaka is the place with Kyodo being the news agency where the report is from (Kyodo News (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyodo)) as his name was Momofuku Ando (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momofuku_Ando).
