Timing. It's Important.

Sarah Palin making her big announcement about 8 seconds before Steve Jobs dies reminds me of...well, ME!:

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. Reminds me of Darby Crash, the singer for the Germs, who decided he was gonna kill himself, thinking it'd get a ton of press. Of course he happens to do it the day John Lennon gets shot. Boy. There's bad timing, then there's BAD timing. I perversely like to make it worse by thinking that just as he was about to kill himself, he glanced at the tv and thought "hey...why are they talking about John Lennon? oh well" BLAM!! But hey. That’s me. 

7) Is there another case of someone famous dying and being overshadowed by someone even more famous dying? I'd like to think that I'd be the most famous/loved etc guy that dies the day I do. Of course, to do that you have to be famous or loved. Hmm. My siblings and I were born on big days. December 8 will always be known as the day Lennon got shot, no matter what my brother does. July 14 will always be Bastille Day, no matter how much I hate the French. September 11 will always be of course 9/11. And April 22, no matter what my sister does, will always be 38 days before the day I had my first 3-flush dump . Big days, all.
