2) I just stumbled upon the fact that CS Lewis died on November 22, 1963. Seems like that would be a bad day to die. Here he is a pretty famous dude, and I'm sure with JFK dying that day you could find some press about Lewis' death hidden in the fucking JUMBLE the next day. - XMASTIMETurns out there was a book written about the coincidence of those two famous people dying on the same day along with Aldus Huxley, Between Heaven and Hell:
...a novel by Peter Kreeft about U.S. President John F. Kennedy, and authors C. S. Lewis and Aldous Huxley meeting in Purgatory and engaging in a philosophical discussion on faith. It was inspired by the odd coincidence that all three men died on the same day: November 22, 1963. We see from the three points of view: Kennedy's "humanist" or "modern Christian" view, Lewis's "conservative Christian" or "mere Christian" view, and Huxley's "Orientalized Christian" view. The book progresses as Lewis and Kennedy discuss Jesus' being God incarnate, to Lewis and Huxley discussing whether or not Jesus was a "deity" or "just a good person."That's cool, although even in the afterlife I don't wanna be competing with JFK for womens.
