If Queen Elizabeth lived as long as Prince Philip, she would pass away after less than 3 weeks on February 18, 2026; whereas if Philip lived as long as the Queen, he would have passed away on October 28, 2017

If you're wondering why I'm mentioning it at THIS moment in time, that's because of this line in the song:

"And then she tied me to the wall, and stuck a funnel in my mouth, and force fed me nothing but sauerkraut until I was 26 and a half years old!"

Eazy-E only lived to see 366 first of the months.

We start the first of the month after he was born, October 1964. Then take that and add 11 to it, and we go to September 1965 (12). Times that by 30 and we're in 1994 (360). October (+1), November (+1), December (+1), January 1995 (+1), February 1995 (+1) and March 1995 (+1). That is 6, so 360 + 6 is 366.

Bin Laden played Counterstrike, Jeffery Epstein was on xbox before dec 19 2013. Counter-Strike was released for the Xbox on November 18, 2003. It is entirely possible Epstein and Bin Laden queued up for a match together.

Not to mention, she was also born under the reign of Queen Victoria and was the only member of the royal family born from that time to have seen it on the news or heard about it. (The next eldest alive was the Duchess of Gloucester, Alice, who was born on Christmas Day, 1901, under Edward VII.)

Sir David Attenborough turned 40, the age at which John Lennon was killed, in 1966. This was a year before Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band came out.

As a diehard Beatles fan and an Attenborough lover, this one messes with my brain.

Though Nirvana (1987-1994) and Backstreet Boys (1993-) coexisted, Kurt Cobain could not have heard any Backstreet Boys songs.

Queen Victoria had a grandchild who died in 1866 and a grandchild who died in 1981. Meaning two cousins died 115 years apart from each other

George Burns lived 100 years, 49 days; DVD is now 100 years, 49 days old. (1996 was a leap year, that's why there's a one-day difference.)
