HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

Thanks to all of you for wishing me HAPPY BIRTHDAY on Facebook. I've never had so many birthday wishes in my life! If you need to feel popular, just get a Facebook page...

I thought I would do a little research and see if this day is special for any other reason than for the fact that it is the day of my birth. Here's what I found...

I SHARE BIRTHDAYS WITH: One of my Grandpas, Bette Davis (actress), Jean-Honore Fragonard (rococo artist), and Colin Powell.

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY:
  • 2348 BC- They estimate that Noah's ark landed on Mount Ararat (who calculated that??)
  • 1614- Pocahontas married John Rolfe
  • 1971- Fran Phipps became the first woman to get to the north pole (she was Canadian, Sandra)
  • 1978 - Duran Duran made their live debut at The Lecture Theatre at Birmingham Polytechnic (I love Duran Duran!)
Amazing facts, no? And you thought reading blogs was a waste of time!
