R.I.P. James Gandolfini
By NELLIE ANDREEVA
I�ve learned that actor James Gandolfini died suddenly in Italy after
a suspected heart attack. He was 51. Gandolfini will be forever known
for his portrayal of mob boss Tony Soprano on the seminal HBO series
The Sopranos, which won him three Emmy Awards. He remained in business
with the pay cable network and was in pre-production on a new limited
series, Criminal Justice, one of several projects he had in the works.

older, I guess playing a mob boss on tv does that.
But I suppose that will be happening more and more, being older than
"older" characters on tv.

He died the day after Christmas in 1974, only two or three weeks after
his diagnosis. He'd begun exhibiting symptoms in October, though.
BTW, as I was looking all this up, I found a reference to Jack Benny
Middle School in Waukegan. It's known as the "Home of the 39ers."

I've also found that the other famous person from Waukegan was Ray
Bradbury.

Jack had celebrated earlier birthdays on his show, and they'd done 36
and 37 and so on. When they got to 40, though, they realized that 40
wasn't a funny number. They came up with some business about a dispute
concerning Jack's actual age, and that he might have been born a year
earlier than he thought, so Jack calls Rochester at home to look for
his birth certificate. Rochester says he found it, but he can't read
the date of birth. Jack says why not? Because it's been erased so
often there's a hole in it, says Rochester.
And, after that, they left Jack's age at 39.

Besides 39 says you've got some maturity, being in your late 30s, but
not getting into middle age into your 40s.

36 only looks immature to us auld pharts.
But back to the subject of numbers, the numbers geek in me just *has* to
point out that today is the only perfect day of the year. Because June
28 contains the only two numbers (6 and 28) that are both perfect *and*
capable of landing on a Gregorian calendar. So enjoy the perfection! :)

The next perfect number will only work in the year slot, but that still

Because they are the sum of their divisors, excluding themselves.
Look at the number six. 6=6*1 and 6=3*2. So you've got 1,2,3 and 6
there. Toss out the 6 (the number itself), and you're left with 1,2,and
3. And 1+2+3=6. A perfect number.
Similarly, 28=1*28 and 2*14 and 4*7, giving us 1,2,4,7,14 and 28. Remove
the 28 and you make your way to 1+2+4+7+14, which equals 28. A perfect
number.
There aren't many of them. The next two are 496 and 8128, and I had to
cheat to "remember" them. And no, I won't show you my math. :)
