Tubular terror (Part II)

Friend to the blog, Mark, points out that one of the London Underground lines is called, "The Jubilee"...

  1. Keep in mind that Phobos-Grunt (evoking fear/terror and ground(underground?)) orbited between 51.5 north and south latitude, the former being the latitude of London, England.

    51.5 equates to 5150 which is California police code for a crazy one on the loose, or someone who is a danger to themself or others.

    According to the urban dictionary, this is where Van Halen got their album title from (5150).

  2. I just notice another interesting connection. The Van Halen 5150 album cover depicts Atlas (who was a Titan) holding up what looks like Saturn.

    The London Underground symbol also looks like a depiction of Saturn.

  3. Bingo - the wheels are slowly turning - emphasis on slow - anyways Saturn has rings, and a ring is the sound a bell makes.

    Presuming that the London Underground logo is intended to look somewhat like Saturn, then it literally screams Tubular Bells!
