  1. ‘Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject, so you know you are getting the best possible information.’
    Michael Scott – Dunder Mifflin

  2. You might as well add your own birthday on to it – how are either of those “important”?

  3. What you think I should have included:
    1837 – Wild Bill Hickok, American gunfighter (d. 1876)
    1870 – Hans Lammers, German SS officer (d. 1962)
    1911 – Vincent Price, American actor (d. 1993)
    1922 – Christopher Lee, English actor
    1923 – Henry Kissinger, United States Secretary of State, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize
    But, Denise Van Outen has better legs than any of them. 🙂

  4. Oh, I would have had Price and Lee from that lot – that’s a bit weird them having the same birthday, isn’t it?
    But Shiloh Jolie-Pitt is probably going to be the first President of the world or something, so that was probably a prescient move picking her.

  5. Exactly, Alison. She is a celebrity. What could be better and more important than that.

  6. She’s Celebrity personified 🙂
