Hallo & Happy Mario Day! It'sa me, Mario! Ut oh, visions of mushrooms are dancing through my head now, along with that oh so catchy little SMB tune. ::sigh:: I miss my Yoshi. Today is also Nametag Day, for those with a habit of forgetting who you are. I know sometimes when I'm dancing around singing 99 Luftballons I forget who I am for a brief moment. Then I remember that Nena didn't shave, and that's like really gross. Speaking of which, what's up with that Angie chick on Survivor? Day 3 and she was already a hairy beast. I'd have to guess she brought it to the island with her. Anyhooo... Some birthdays for today: Neneh Cherry (41), Jasmine Guy (42) and Sharon Stone (47). Have a great day all!
On this day in history...
- 1681 - English Quaker William Penn receives charter from Charles II, making him sole proprietor of colonial American territory Pennsylvania.
- 1849 - Abraham Lincoln applies for a patent; only US president to do so.
- 1876 - 1st telephone call made (Alexander Graham Bell to Thomas Watson).
- 1969 - James Earl Ray pleads guilty in murder of Martin Luther King Jr.
- 1977 - Rings of Uranus discovered during occulation of SAO. (tee hee)

Good morning and happy Panic Day! I wasn't really in the mood when I first woke up, but I'm slowly working towards it for my own entertainment. Speaking of panic... there was a spider on my monitor when I woke up. First one I've seen since winter started. Sure has been great living bug-free. Did you know that in Texas the law states that when two trains meet each other at a railroad crossing, each shall come to a full stop, and neither shall proceed until the other has gone? Happy Birthdays to TV's Webster, Emmanuel Lewis (34), Juliette Binoche (39) and Barbie! Barbie turns 46 today, and I for one think she's holding her figure quite well. /wave.
On this day in history...
- 1562 - Kissing in public banned in Naples (punishable by death).
- 1858 - Albert Potts of Philadelphia patents the street mailbox.
