13. One of those weird days in my life as it was also the day I got my first real job...

Having been a summer intern I was offered a real job. My boss came into my office in a really gloomy mood and said "congratulations" and handed me the offer letter. He then explained that the "Challenger had exploded." It kinda made my personal news insignificant for a time at least.

15. During a Republican administration, don't go up on a shuttle.

Of course, it's gone completely now.
