I was in third grade, and we were so excited, waiting for one of the science lessons to be broadcast. I went to a poor-ass elementary school in Louisiana which has since been condemned, and it was a major deal that we had the TV in our classroom that day. The set hadn't been turned on yet, as we were working on some other lesson we had to finish first.
We missed seeing the launch, but I will never forget the elderly janitor poking his head in the door, wearing a very out-of-place wide grin, for some reason, telling us simply "that space shuttle exploded." Our teacher, who was very neurotic and on one memorable occasion spent an entire afternoon pacing the classroom and telling us that Qaddaffi was going to bring about WWIII, turned on the news and we watched the reports for the rest of the school day. Then I went home and watched them on TV there, too, morbidly fascinated and horrified.

I despise many of the terms already mentioned, but my current pet peeve is "a sense of urgency." We need to cultivate a sense of urgency... she doesn't display a sense of urgency... I'm just not feeling a real sense of urgency from your department...

I'm also really tired of hearing about "hard goals," re: sales, as in required numbers that MUST be met (pref. with a sense of urgency, I guess). Wouldn't that make them a quota, not a goal?

And just in case anyone calls 'bull' on my facts, here is my source:

Your body actually contains TEN TIMES more bacterial cells than human cells. This means you are basically more bacteria than human, and even forty of our genes are bacterial in origin!
Right now, the average adult has over five hundred different species living in his intestines alone, and I would rather spend the holidays alone with my millions of teeming personal bacterial cells than just about any bacteria-laden 'human' in my extended family.

I'm not sure if I'm delighted or grossed out by my neural misfire, there... Rusty Lemonade might be a hilarious name, but it doesn't sound like a particularly tasty beverage. ;)
