Tomorrow is the anniversary of the death of comic Bill Hicks, who died of cancer on Feb. 26, 1994. I really didn't know much about him until I watched a comedy special recently, and admit I still don't know much except he seemed to be very talented and died far too young. The Guardian newspaper calls him "one of the most influential standups of recent times," and even created a Bill Hicks quiz.
Before testing your knowledge, read more about his life on Wikipedia, including the allegations by some that Denis Leary hacked Hicks' material. You can see clips of Hicks' act on YouTube.
