Someone just pointed out the following to me:

The same date when Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson both died on June 25, 2009:
6-25-09
62 50

Farrah Fawcett was 62 years old.
Michael Jackson was 50 years old.

Simple coincidence I say.

Numerology-type find almost always are. Especially when you get to apparently remove one number that doesn't fit.

Too bad Jackson didn't die a month earlier when the 50-9 could have meant he was 50 and 9 months. Sadly he was 50 and nearly 11 months old.

Stupid mysterious cosmic forces, always doing things half-assed.

You probably know this, but numerical coincidences have nothing to do with the psuedo-science of Numerology.

By the way, in just a few minutes and seconds, it will be 12:34:56, 7/8/9.

It does, by the way, when people take numerical coincidences and read into them spiritual (or other) significance. Which is all that Numerology is.

Noting that my birth date appears in my phone number is a coincidence. Feeling that this means it is a sign god wanted me to have this phone number is numerology.

So yeah, as long as everybody agrees that what DP posted is just a coincidence then it isn't numerology. However, since the first person who mentioned that to me today did so in context of how it reflected divine intervention in their deaths I'm going to stick with labeling it a "numerology-type find."

Why a day early?

Alex · 07-08-2009, 12:46 PM

Because it was a three day celebration.

George Fullerton dies at 86; musician helped Leo Fender create his unique guitars

Quote:

George Fullerton, a longtime associate of Leo Fender who played a crucial role in the electric-guitar innovator's extraordinary success through his broad-based skills as a musician, artist and technician, has died. He was 86.

Fullerton died Saturday of congestive heart failure at St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton, said his son Geoff.

While Fender tinkered away, coming up with improvements in guitar design that led to the creation of his revolutionary Telecaster and Stratocaster electric guitars, Fullerton was charged with making those innovations practical for mass production in their Orange County factory that opened in the late 1940s. Nearly 1,000 people were working there when Fender sold it to CBS in 1965.

I officially declare this sad occasion a terrific excuse for me to go get a corn dog.
