I think he's referring to the engineer who tried and failed to get the Challenger launch scrubbed and he knew it was going to blow up.

I had a whole lot of trouble getting my head around this, till I figured out it wasn't the same night.

Rest in Piece, Mr Nice!

My favourite part of his story is that, having been asked at one point by a friend of his who was in MI6 to help him gain contacts in the underworld, he then, when tried for drugs trafficking, claimed he'd been using that as a cover for spying ... and it worked. Quote:

Victoria Wood. I'm a bit gutted by this. Damn, she was only 62.
The name probably means little to non-Brits - but she was a bit of a national treasure over here. Here's the thing that always springs to my mind when I hear the name Victoria Wood: The Ballad of Barry and Freda. She updated the song a few times, over the years. My favourite was the original from the 80s, but damned if I can find a copy on da toob. Closest to the original I can get is the 90's version, which is pretty close.

It looked like a question in response to Beest but we posted it at the same time. Actually heard about it on our local non-syndicated radio station and confirmed through ABC news.

Google has a purple rain doodle up already, did someone whip that up, or do they have them prepared like obituaries for the queen?
