#DidYouKnow that @SofiaVergara & @JessicaSimpson & many others of #TheFamousPeople have the same #HappyBirthday? the #July10 #BirthdayCohort, on #ClerihewDay @TimeAndDateSite @Sesquiotic | @411Holidays @BirthdayMates @YourTango @MySundayMass
TimeAndDate explains #Clerihew Day in a report linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find you understand words better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)
A Clerihew is a |Whimsical, Four-Line |Biographical Poem-type invented by a man whose middle name was Clerihew, a name built on ancient words that mean ... they don't know. It was the poet's Mother's Maiden-name
(a |Scottish name that was made by "glomming together" (highly-technical onomastetics 😜) of-their forefather's place-of-origin |Clarieu & -his occupation as a |Cleric---which became the poet's middle-name and was then passed to his son).
#Clerihewer
I sometimes get a little 'thrill' from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that thrill from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday' ...
Today's Birthday-Cohort
Astrologically, their sign is Cancer ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Ronnie James Dio (singer in Black Sabbath), John Simm (The Master from DOCTOR WHO), comic-artist Joe Shuster, Nikola Tesla, Sofia Vergara, Jessica Simpson, theologian John Calvin, tennis-star Arthur Ashe, folk-singer Arlo Guthrie, David Brinkley, Vice-President George M. Dallas, Fred Gwynne (Herman of The Munsters), Adrian Grenier (Vincent Chase on Entourage), Chiwetel Ejiofor (Mordo in DOCTOR STRANGE), Eunice Kennedy Shriver (founder of the Special Olympics) ... and lots more I don't recognize (maybe you do recognize some ... you can find the date at the birthday-cohort link)
