birthday bash

my birthday was monday, november 18th.
i was spawned that day in 1978.
what better way to celebrate than to do a little research and see what kind of great historical moments happened on that day…
24 years ago…

1st) The 50th anniversairy of Micky Mouse was celebrated by giving the cartoon rodent a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

2nd) McDonnell Douglas celebrated the first flight of their F/A-18 Hornet.

3rd) Carrie Fisher hosted Saturday Night Live with musical guests The Blues Brothers.

4rth) The Greatful Dead played the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California.

5th) Professional wrestler Eric “The Red” Hansen died in a car accident. He was one half of the Florida Tag Champions at the time. (how wierd is that?! eric the red… ded)

6th) This Garfield comic strip was published.

7th) Jim Jones, a U.S. pastor, led 914 of his followers to their deaths at Jonestown, Guyana, by drinking a cyanide-laced fruit drink. Cult members who refused to swallow the drink were shot.

yeah… my birthday was boring.
no cake… no ice cream… no free stuff.
instead i looked at pictures of 900 dead christian nutcases.

try google searching your birth date and see what morbid crap happened.

Damn, Garfield looked absolutely horrid back then. :grin:

Yes, that’s some coincidence with that Eric wrestler. It seems that the moment ‘Eric the Red’ died, ‘Eric-the-ded’ was born. Kinda spooky. :wink:
