Today, February 2nd, is Groundhogs Day, and it looks like our friend Phil saw his shadow today, too. Today is fabled by the holiday and the popular movie named for it. In past, February 2nd saw the end of the one of the bloodiest battles in our history, the Battle of Stalingrad, and the United States Supreme Court convened for the first time in 1790.The book "Ulysses" by James Joyce was published on February 2nd, Joyce's birthday. Joyce isn't the only revered author born on the second day of February, either, as controversial philosopher Ayn Rand was also born today. Among others, Data from Star Trek, Farrah Fawcett, Christie Brinkley, and Shakira are all figures who were born on previous February 2nds.
Oh, and your humble moderator, BoG. I was born on February 2nd. It's my birthday! I'm the ripe old age of 19! One year older, and hopefully wiser, too. I'm going to say I'm wiser, because although I'm now allowed to purchase cigarettes in my state, I don't plan to ever do so. Well, whatever. Hooray me!
On this day in history...
Happy Birthday Bog.
On this fabulous occasion:
