Holidays Calendar explains the #Susurration (whatever that word means) of Absurdity 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 “Susurration (\ #Surd #Surdity #Susurrus #Susurrant)” (meaning of an ancient word in the foundation beneath "Absurd") is built on ancient words that mean "to |Buzz, |Whisper" (which is also the foundation beneath words that mean Sounds, Resounds, Flute, |Dull, Mute, to Whistle, Pipe, Swarm).

the word can also mean 'a swarm of starlings,' I guess

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 (on the cusp of Sagittarius) ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: President Joe Biden, Bo Derek, game-show host Richard Dawson, Robert F. Kennedy, Sean Young (Harrison Ford's costar in BLADE RUNNER), Joel McHale, Ming-Na Wen, Duane Allman, Judy Woodruff, Estelle Parson (mother of Roseanne & Jackie on ROSEANNE), U.N. Ambassador John Bolton, Dick (of The Smothers Brothers), Edwin Hubble, Jeremy Jordan (Winn Schott (Computer Lad) on The CW Supergirl)  ... 


... and many others (most of whom are at the 'Birthday-Cohort' link)---

you might comment telling why we should recognize a special one I missed ...

Or maybe you'd like a reminder of 'where you've seen one of the ones we DO mention'; Ask in your comment!

My Heart of the Nation calendar says that we (Catholics) are celebrating Blessed Virgin Mary, with the clergy wearing White Vestments for the Optional Memorial (Green Vestments otherwise)
