The Apollo 13 accident occurred on an April 14:
From http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/database/MasterCatalog?sc=1970-029A
"The fire spread within the tank, raising the pressure until at 3:07:53 UT on 14 April (10:07:53 EST 13 April; 55:54:53 mission elapsed time) oxygen tank no. 2 exploded, damaging oxygen tank no. 1 and the interior of the service module and blowing off the bay no. 4 cover."

Kate Winslet is consider CHUBBY!? Not in my world. She actually looks like a WOMAN, not like a stick waif with big knockers.

It was T.S. Eliot responding to the opening of The Canterbury Tales . . . And that, my friends, is why I was a Shakespeare class short of a major in English. Greek and Hebrew had to do, and even those skills have since waned beyond usefulness. But I will always appreciate good English literature, the NYT notwithstanding.

We drove to Memphis TN to see the Exhibition several years ago. Interesting and sad...that is how I remember it too.

I had an English prof that absolutely LOVED Wasteland. He compared the Sgt.Pepper album to it, calling it "The Beatles' Wasteland." Thanks for conjuring memories of Dr.Scotto's wonderful class.

Because of a shortage of lifeboats and the lack of satisfactory emergency procedures, more than 1,500 people went down in the sinking ship or froze to death in the icy North Atlantic waters. Most of the approximately 700 survivors were women and children.
Ship sinks, women & children hurt most!
Ship sinks, most women & children saved.
This is incorrect in so many ways & sounds like a modern news report by reporters who do not know what they are talking about.

She must have lost a little weight, she looked pretty thin in Finding NEverland.

That'll be hung in White House instead of a portrait of President Bush if we get hit by terrorists who seak in from our unsecured southern border.

It really was a great class, and I think he was on to something. Nice listening to the album too.

You're right. Eliot. And making a twist on Chaucer's "Whan that Aprille with his shoores soote" business.
