Here


Feel free to peruse today's date, your birthday, anniversary, and etc. and look for interesting occurrences, coincidences, or common birthdays with celebretards or megalomaniacs!

Looks like HG has the same birthday as I do. I was also born amongst many a scientist and actor. Must explain my penchant for science.
