...behind Thailand's time zone. Technically, that means he was actually born on Tuesday Bangkok time, which could mean he should be honored by pink. In late 2007, when the King left the hospital after a three-week stay, he was pictured wearing a carnation-pink blazer and shirt, apparently because astrologers predicted that the tint would hasten his good health.

That morning, the family had been informed by the hotel's independent airport shuttle service (not the airline, mind you) that they had been rebooked on an earlier flight departing at 3:59 p.m., more than two hours earlier than the Gibsons had planned. The schedule change meant they had to cancel their day at the park and endure a three-plus-hour layover in Atlanta with small children...
