Holiday or Observance
‘Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject, so you know you are getting the best possible information.’
Michael Scott – Dunder Mifflin
You might as well add your own birthday on to it – how are either of those “important”?
What you think I should have included:
1837 – Wild Bill Hickok, American gunfighter (d. 1876)
1870 – Hans Lammers, German SS officer (d. 1962)
1911 – Vincent Price, American actor (d. 1993)
1922 – Christopher Lee, English actor
1923 – Henry Kissinger, United States Secretary of State, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize
But, Denise Van Outen has better legs than any of them. 🙂
Oh, I would have had Price and Lee from that lot – that’s a bit weird them having the same birthday, isn’t it?
But Shiloh Jolie-Pitt is probably going to be the first President of the world or something, so that was probably a prescient move picking her.
Exactly, Alison. She is a celebrity. What could be better and more important than that.
She’s Celebrity personified 🙂
