1. I will put in for Bud Selig. Saw him giving the trophy to the Red Sox. He looks like he has Parkinson's and his speech sounded a little slurred so there may be a precursor for a major stroke coming on.

    I will officially declare cause of death: A-roidinitis.

    Bonus points of course.
  2. Dude...do you attend the Pride Parade?

  5. That's like being the 19th person to walk on the moon.
  6. I guess they're not all technically celebrities, but it's still a pretty select fraternity to have gone into space.
  7. The Mercury astronauts originated that select fraternity and were huge celebrities in their day.
  8. If I had to ask 100 men who are aged 75-85 years old, how many would know who this person was (given they have all their faculties)?
  9. Most if not all. Even those in their 50's & 60's. It was a very big deal.
  10. cool

    I still remember vividly as a kid growing up in the 70s making a replica of the Apollo lunar module for school using aluminum foil. It was certainly a very prideful thing for the entire nation.
