Today in history

31 years ago, a wee cavefish entered the world. Here are some other things that my birthday is known for:

Tax Day
1738: Bottle opener invented
1865: President Abraham Lincoln dies
1912: Sinking of the Titanic
1924: Rand McNally releases the first road atlas
1955: First McDonald's opens in Illinois
1990: 'In Living Color' premieres on Fox (Jess decides to pursue career as Fly Girl)
1992: Leona Helmsley starts jail term
1997: The Howard Stern show airs for the first time in Charlotte, NC

I also share a birthday with Samantha Fox and Leonardo da Vinci, which is awesome.
