They came along after I named my compost pile Uriah......I was a huge Dickens fan, but then that was after I was a Conan Doyle fan......you'd never guess what my dog's name was....

Wow!
Had no idea Janis, Jimmy and Morrison were all 27...not to mention all the rest. And Amy Winehouse too? That's just crazy.
And HOLY SHIT I just found Cobain was 27 too!
Unbelievable.

There are about 50 or 60 musicians who died at age 27.....many of them not very well known. But it bleeds....I forget now, but about ten of them all have the same number of letters in their name...and a whole bunch of coincidences...

more to come
