Check out the SF novel “Redshirts” by John Scalzi. An interesting take on this phenomenon and well deserving winner of the 2013 Hugo Award for best SF novel.

One of my favorite Christmas memories is going to the Apple Store when the staff had been issued red t-shirts in honor of the holiday. Talk about tempting fate

Those Red Shirts really knew how to keep a drinking party going, didn’t they? “He’s dead, Jim.” (Glug)… ☺
