#DidYouKnow #July12 is also the #HappyBirthday to @SenatorSinema & @RollingStones & the WHOLE #BirthdayCohort of #EtchASketchDay @Red_Tricycle | @411Holidays @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass
Red Triangle explains 'the day we celebrate the #EtchASketch ' 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)
Etch-a-Sketch is a |Mechanical Drawing Toy (allowing children to #Etch a Sketch in its metallic sand) invented by André Cassagnes of France and subsequently manufactured by the Ohio Art Company and now owned by Spin Master of Toronto, Ontario, Canada
The word “Etch” is built on ancient words that mean "to Eat" (as that #Etching was made by Acids that Ate-Away at a Surface). #Etched
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: producer Brian Grazer, figure-skater Kristi Yamaguchi, Bill Cosby, Google-CEO Sundar Pichai, WWE's Brock Lesnar, Charlie Murphy (Eddie's brother), Topher Grace, Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel herself), Henry David Thoreau, Richard Simmons, Milton Berle, architect R. Buckminster Fuller, Oscar Hammerstein II (lyricist of Rodgers & Hammerstein), senator Kyrsten Sinema, The Rolling Stones, Pakistani education advocate Malala Yousafzai, Erik Per Sullivan (Malcolm's younger brother on Malcolm in the Middle) ... and lots more I don't recognize (maybe you do recognize some ... you can find the date at the birthday-cohort link)
