macaulay culkin
just a quick note on a phat wikipedia feature i've discovered a minute ago: if you enter your birthday into the wiki URL like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_26 you get a nice overview of births, deaths, and historical events that happened on the same day (note for geeks: no leading zeros for single digit days). now i know the following important facts:
- nothing historically relevant happened on august 26, 1975
- every august 26, there are 127 days left until new year's eve (which would actually be enough time to plan ahead and not be surprised about not having any cool plans for the oh-so-important night, which is in fact the dullest of all nights because it officially climaxes at midnight already)
- i might in fact be a reincarnation of haile selassie, emperor of ethiopia, who passed away just when i was born. haile selassie is not to be confused with haile gebreselassie, who is regarded as the greatest distance runner of all times
- macauly culkin, the no-longer-american-child-actor aka kevin was born on the same day
