Today is my birthday! I don’t feel any older, but I guess I am; at least the calendar says so. How old? 29 (but don’t ask how many time’s I’ve celebrated that milestone!) Miss Cellania has the same birthday, and put up a big birthday post for the occasion, so I thought I would too.
Just out of curiosity, I poked around on the web to see how many notable figures we share the birthdate with; lots and lots. Some of the more notable names (at least the ones I recognize) include Google (9 years old today!), Samuel Adams, Gwyneth Paltrow, Shaun Cassidy, Meat Loaf (Marvin Lee Aday), Randy Bachman, and many others that I’ve never heard of.
Another amazing thing is how many lists of useless facts (aka: trivia) there are on the web. I found several that listed the notable events that happened on this date; the New York Times “On This Day”, Wikipedia’s Sept. 27 entry, BBC’s “On This Day”, Sympatico.ca, and others.
Somebody stop me before this gets too boring. Uh oh. Too late.
