Re: 27
That's cool, even if I don't quite understand. Speak of 27, I got a perfect score on the Jumble Crossword yesterday.
Perfect Score - 2700 points!

Re: 27
Even Worse stopped at # 27 on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart!
The only biblical significance regarding the number 27 is that there are 27 books in the New Testament. I've always taken it as a "trinity of trinities" (3 X 3 X 3), with whatever connotations one cares to ascribe. Another loose association are the artists known as the Club of 27 or the 27 Club (those who died at age 27)- namely Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin and Kurt Cobain.
TOWER OF SONG BY LEONARD COHEN, 1988
Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey
I ache in the places where I used to play
And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on
I'm just paying my rent every day
Oh in the Tower of Song
I said to Hank Williams: how lonely does it get?
Hank Williams hasn't answered yet
But I hear him coughing all night long
A hundred floors above me
In the Tower of Song
I was born like this, I had no choice
I was born with the gift of a golden voice
And twenty-seven angels from the Great Beyond
They tied me to this table right here
In the Tower of Song
So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all
I'm standing by the window where the light is strong
Ah they don't let a woman kill you
Not in the Tower of Song
Now you can say that I've grown bitter but of this you may be sure
The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor
And there's a mighty judgement coming, but I may be wrong
You see, you hear these funny voices
In the Tower of Song
I see you standing on the other side
I don't know how the river got so wide
I loved you baby, way back when
And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed
But I feel so close to everything that we lost
We'll never have to lose it again
Now I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back
They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
But you'll be hearing from me baby, long after I'm gone
I'll be speaking to you sweetly
From a window in the Tower of Song
Yeah my friends are gone and my hair is grey
I ache in the places where I used to play
And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on
I'm just paying my rent every day

Re: 27
You probably already knew it, but it's fun anyway:
Twinkie diet
In 2010, Kansas State University professor Mark Haub went on a "convenience store" diet consisting mainly of Twinkies, Oreos, and Doritos in an attempt to demonstrate to his students "that in weight loss, pure calorie counting is what matters most—not the nutritional value of the food". He lost 27 pounds over a 2-month period, returning his body mass index (BMI) to within normal range. [23][24]

Re: 27
As much as I love CRACKED, their Photoshop contests are sliding a bit downhill.
Now, if they did another one that also had 27 entries AND one happened to mention Al...THAT would be something to post here!
