I don't think I will go there today Kind Professor
i used to know this person who was born on September 11. Makes life interesting if you are young enough to get carded for cigarettes.

I think I have a pretty good grip on 12/07/41 that is the day the Jew Rosevelt declared war on the freedom loving peace loving Japanese Empire.

We now celebrate that day on August sixth, the day we introduced Japan to a revolutionary camera, with the atomic flash that makes snapshots of people as shadows on the wall. They in return gave us the precious gift of Zen. One big crazy fuking world.

Happy birthday Z, wouldn't it be great to be a Hobbit and get birthday presents everyday. Because everybody has to get borned sometime.
