#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #November2 #BirthdayCohort with @kdLang & @DavidSchwimmer & ... You?) on #Ohio Day @NationalDayCal | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass
... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'
National Day Calendar explains Ohio 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)
The word “Ohio (The #BuckeyeState #Ohioan (previously #Ohian))” is built on ancient words that mean Good River (words originally referring to the |Allegheny, headwaters of the Ohio River).
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 Scorpio ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: comics artist Steve Ditko, Pat Buchanan, Marie Antoinette, David Schwimmer, Nelly, Burt Lancaster, President Warren G. Harding, K.D. Lang, Michael Buffer (Worldwide Wrestling's Mr. "LLLLLLet's Get READY TO RUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE!"), electrical- and sound-engineer Amar Bose ...
... and many others (most of whom are at the 'Birthday-Cohort' link)---tell me about any of today's
birthdays who're famous to you (and where we should've heard of them). And use the comments
to ask me about any of these birthday celebrators whom you haven't heard-of ...
