I looked up my birthdate on Wikipedia

Apr 12, 2006 18:13

I have known for some time that there were a set of quintuplets born on July 27th, but it seems I also share my birthday with Triple H, as well as Cliff Curtis (the multi-talented ethnic-minoritist actor who drove his car through the front wall of my aunt's house a couple of years ago), and Gary Freakin' Gygax.

King Conrad apparently died on July ( Read more... )

Jeez, and all I have is the release date of the first "Mummy" movie.

(Actually, I have no idea what "this day in history" brings for me...)

i continue to be proud to be hosting anniversaries of the Great Fire of London and the Battle of Actium, myself, but mostly this comment is an excuse to comment on how you just made me do the "omg New Zealand is thisbig!" thing again. what with it being your aunt's house, and all. urk.

Dude, July is -- contentious.

I got the day ARPAnet first networked two computers, which originally thought could be construed as the birth of the Internet. On second consideration, I think perhaps the addition of a third computer to the mix might actually be required to make it The Net and not just a fileshare.

melon melon melon!

*giggle* How I love Hex.

(this is, of course, in reference to thy icon.)

Oh, then you can answer my question! Which fandom is this from?!

elfin_archer April 12 2006, 23:15:09 UTC

Terry Pratchett. Specifically from the book Hogfather.

If you haven't already, read it. Seriously. Best EVER.

Dude, I'm July 28th!... which, considering hemispheric differences, is more or less the same birthday as you. Sweet... I call for an dual hemispheric party this year.

It would be easier if you were the 26th, or I were the 29th (we're ahead of you, not behind), but sure! The celebration, she will be glorious!

very fascinating facts!

and may i say, one of the most awesome icons, maybe ever :)

Hee hee! I was watching that episode yesterday, and I realised I simply had to iconify that moment.
