pR0JEkT 21 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Was just checking pictures on Bruce Lee for a buddy of mine and the craziest thing just hit me. I know it's not a big deal, but weirdest thing is the day that Bruce Lee was born is the same day that Sean Taylor past away , obvouisly different years, I am not that retarded. Just thought I'd let people know..just for the hell of it, something to talk about! Now this is directly from the Wykepedia under Sean Taylor.. Taylor was murdered on November 27, 2007, at the age of 24, dying from critical injuries from shots by an intruder at his Miami area home on November 26, 2007. His death led to an outpouring of national support and sympathy, especially in the Washington D.C. area where Taylor was a fan favorite as a Redskin and the Miami area where Taylor had been a standout high school and and college football player. In honor of Taylor, for the first play of the first game after he died, the Redskins defense came out with only 10 players instead of the usual 11.

SonOfWashington Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 And if you take both the first number in the day of the month Bruce Lee was born and died and the first number of the year he was born and died, you get 21 TWICE. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 My parents anniversary is the same day as his birth ('84). :paranoid: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoBob Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 My father was born on the day that MLK was born, his only brother was born on the day that he died....OK so it's totally unrelated to Sean Taylor, but it's still a strange coincidence.

SnyderMustGo Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 There are only 365 days in the year. There are a lot more than 365 famous people in the history of the world. There is about 100% certainty that any given day is going to have some historical significance or be the same day as the birth or death of someone famous.
