Astronauts Virgil "Gus" Grissom, Edward White, and Roger Chaffee are killed in the cockpit of the Apollo I spacecraft. The cause was a flash fire that broke out during a flight simulation test.

Michael Jackson's head catches on fire while filming an ad for Pepsi.

Fire day, my friends. Fire day.

Okay, everyone knows about the Apollo accident.

But MJ? Do we have pictures?

Why am I not surprised that combining MJ with Pepsi had such a combustible end result?

Today, in 1805, the city of New York and surrounding areas got over 2 feet of snow in a 2 day snow event.

Tonight and tommorow we're going to be getting 10+ inches of snow. Yay.

Apollo 1 happened January 27th, Challenger happened January 28th, and Columbia happened February 1st. That to me struck me as a little creepy.

For a guy with a big monkey plastered next to his name, you sure are observant.

I like that big stupid monkey in that "Project X" movie that started making that crazy monkey sound when they were all let out of their cages and started smashing the place up. That was great!

Watchu talkin' 'bout Willis?

Feb. 4, 2004. SL sim Immaculate rocked by an earthquake apparently caused when a large tree-like structure fell over.
The quake was said to have measured 4.7 on the Ritter scale. Scientists fear this may very well cause mass extinction for the dinosaurs who call Immaculate home.
