Hah! Okay, it's sad that this man -- who likely contributed to the lives of lots of young men -- has passed away. But all I could think of was the nerdy gamers in HS and how they might need to take a half day like your friend.
Confession: I read Babysitters Club too.
As Mrs. N, the sadness is mine...he's going to be talking about this for weeks now, I'm sure...
Babysitters Club ruled! I remember once in like #10 or something when Kristy's dog died . . . cried myself to sleep.
Do I lose all my geek points if I admit I've never, ever, played D&D or any of its myriad offshoots?
Not sure why really, just busy I guess....
Still I know a lot of people who will be in mourning

Nah, you're fine. Whatever points you lose for never having played D&D are made up for by the fact that:
a) you're british
b) you attend Cambridge, and study brain stuff or whatever it is you actually study. Robots?
