Of course today's highlighted birthday has to be my alma mater Texas Tech, born in 1923. It's a shame Texas Technological has to share a birthday with douchenozzle Glenn Beck, but at least they are fortunate to share one with the Shark, the Moose and hottie Elizabeth Banks. Here's a clip from the first movie I ever saw Banks in, 'Wet Hot American Summer.'
Wow, amazing!!!! The way you have depicted the calender of the births is marvelous. The video is also very nice and in good form.
