Today is also the fateful day that former U.S. President Jimmy Carter was attacked by a bloodthirsty rabbit.

Today is also 10 years since the Columbine shooting. But nobody cares about that. Go Jimmy Carter!

Wikipedia also says it's a year since the Johnson Space Centre shootings which sounds like the plot from a hokey action film and yet I have absolutely no recollection of ever hearing about it.

Happy An Hero Day to you all!

Screw that German politician. Carmen Electra has become 37 today!

ü's for everyone!

"Happy An Hero Day to you all!"

What was instituted by Pope Boniface VIII? I must know!"

It's actually my late grandpa's birthday today.

He hated sharing the birthday with Hitler, as you can imagine.

In celebration, lets play the hitler wikipedia game. 

Rules:  you pick a random thing and go to the wikipedia page.  Now try getting to the Adolf Hitler page using only in-article links.  So that means you can't use the sidebars that exist on any page, and you have to stay in wikipedia so no reference transitions.  Just start with a random word or thing and see how many clicks it takes.  I'll start.


1. Oreo
2. McDonalds
3. Germany
4. Adolf Hitler

And there you have it.  From the Oreo page, it takes 3 in-article clicks to get to Hitler

You think that's bad? Remember the time we ate Oreo's in a McDonalds with Adolf Hitler in Germany? *Cut to the clip*"

It is also my (now divorced) parents anniversary.

When I first learned that, my honest first question was "Why did you get married on Hitler's birthday?"
