Re: Now, if it just doesn't explode

"27" gets a bad rap.

January 27: forever remembered by space geeks* for Apollo 1.

There's also the "27 club" of rock artists who died at that age, around the same time (give/take a few years).

Hopefully May 27 isn't remembered for the same/similar reasons. I pray for their safety.

* Particular yours truly because on that date in 1980 I was born. AC because I wanted to share that factoid. This world has sure gone all nucking-futz since I turned 40!
