British naval hero Horatio Nelson (1758);
the man who "discovered" ESP, Joseph Banks Rhine (1895);
Nobel prize-winning Father of Fission, Enrico Fermi (1901);
showbiz cowboy Gene Autry (1907);
pretentious Eurotrash movie director Michelangelo Antonioni (1912);
stuttering overachiever Bob Newhart (1929);
incestuous, cradle-robbing rocker Jerry Lee Lewis (1935);
dead guy from M*A*S*H, Larry "Frank Burns" Linville (1939);
the only person Frank Zappa really hated, French violinist Jean-Luc Ponty (1942);
dead comedienne Madeline "it IS twoo!" Kahn (1942);
Polish Solidarity leader and raging anti-semite Lech Walesa (1943);
pompous, screechy television non-personality Bryant Gumbel (1948);
and, finally, Playboy Playmate and Baywatch Beach-Bunny Erika Eleniak, born on this day in '69...
I would like to wish a Very Happy Birthday to everyone, except, of course, for the dead people, cuz that would be about as futile as... well, as futile as prayer, I suppose!
