Went to lunch today with the PL grad students, who started discussing their relatively large range of ages.
Student 1: Well, I'm 24.
Me: I mean, isn't that the age Coolio said he wasn't sure if he'd live to see?
Student 2: Who's Coolio?
Student 3: That's a musical artist, right?
Student 2: ...from the 1900s?

@carloangiuli @samth my favourite Coolio story is the time he visited Canberra and somehow involved himself in a local debate about public transport; "American hip-hop legend Coolio has hailed Canberra’s light-rail project as “dope” and told Yarralumla residents concerned their suburb could turn into a ghetto that it probably already is one." https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/6138308/light-rail-dope-or-nope-coolio-says-yes/
