It's been a while since the last Suffolk Gazette Haiku obituary. But then came the news that Douglas Rain, the voice behind Hal, the sinister computer in the classic sci-fi movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, had died.

Here's your memorial Haiku from our tribute writer, Richard Standen.

<strong>2001
Space Odyssey completed.
Hal, disconnected.
