Topic: Off-Topic - Roddy Piper dies at 61

I know this is completely off-topic with respect to 3D printing, but one of my favorite wrestling characters passed away the other day:  Rowdy Roddy Piper.

I loved his antics, his feuds with Hogan were the stuff of legend.  I even loved his movie, "They Live".

I was sad to hear of his passing, especially since they said a year ago he was cancer free.  Apparently he died of cardiac arrest in his sleep.

Rest in peace, Rowdy !

To print or, 3D print, that is the question...

AnyCubic Photon, Shining 3D EinScan-S & Atlas 3D scanners...
...and too much time on my hands.

I loved his character as well, and "They Live" is a great campy invasion flick. RIP Hot Rod, you will be missed.

It was interesting that he died almost the same day that "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey had her fight in the UFC, and they were both trained by the same person I believe.

A Canadian kid from the streets who turned his life around. If you ever read about his real life, it's quite inspiring. I guess he truly was out of bubble gum this time.  Rest in Peace Roddy.
