It turns out there aren't a lot of interesting things that happened on my birthday...I do like that there was a mule named Muffin and an Ottoman Empire...I just get images of vast armies of footstools streaming accross a battlefield.
I know.
I'm odd.

Had you not heard of Muffin the Mule? I guess that's because you don't have an English mother.
Orson's war of the worlds was the best adaption of the original that I've seen or heard, I think. But those people must have been pretty gullible.
