In 1943, a US bomber over Germany was hit by explosive ordnance directly in the fuel tanks 11 times, but none exploded. After the shells were cut open, all were found to have no explosives in them, and one contained a note in Czech saying "This is all we can do for you now".

That air would be rather, ah, sweet.

[Doctor Phibes]

That would be a really shitty day.

Clever, nonetheless.

Are people still dying of AIDS? A gay sportscaster died at 33 of an auto immune disease that he's had for 20 years. That's an interesting narrative if it's AIDS.

Was he a sportscaster that happened to be gay, or did he report on gay sports?

Not sure how much soccer reporting he did.

Based purely on Bayesian priors, I suspect it’s more likely he died of one of the many rare autoimmune diseases out there
