On this day in history



The Irish Free State is declared (1921)
Kitty O'Neil sets a new women's land speed record (1976)
Comedian Steven Wright is born (1955)
The US gov't standardizes the size of license plates (1955)
Agnes Moorehead (Endora on Bewitched) is born (1900)
A federal judge rules that Ulysses is in fact not obscene (1933)
The Great Halifax Explosion! (1917)
Ira Gershwin is born (1896)
Orange County goes bankrupt (1994)

And for good measure, on my own 25th birthday, Elián González was born in Cuba (1993)

Just so's you know.

Did you have a slice of pie, as I instructed?

I had a slice of cheesecake. Does that count? They're both round...

Well. We are all glad you were born, Collin -- and you are supposed to continue celebrating for a week, so my wishes for good times are still plenty fresh.
