#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #February12 #BirthdayCohort with @ChristinaRicci & #SarahLancaster (remember @SarahMLancaster? from @NbcCHUCK?) & ALL the #FamousBirthdays @Bing lists) on #DarwinDay | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates @YourTango @MySundayMass

... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &/or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'

Holidays Calendar explains today's birthday-celebration for theorist Charles #Darwin in a report linked through 'the hyperlinks' below; but first I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see '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 into their Foundation)
The surname “Darwin” (also a given-name) is built on the given-name #Deorwine, built on ancient words that mean |Dear Friend.

I sometimes get a little mind-spark from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that spark 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' ...

This Day's Birthday-Cohort

Astrologically, their sign is Aquarius ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Abraham Lincoln (not only on the same day-of-the-year, but on THE EXACT SAME DAY as Charles Darwin), Josh Brolin, Christina Ricci, John Michael Higgins (you've seen him in many things ... as Dr. Randy Zaius in ANGIE TRIBECA, perhaps?), Arsenio Hall, Hon. Brett Kavanaugh, Michael McDonald ("What a Fool Believes," "Minute by Minute," "Taking it to the Streets," etc.), Joe Don Baker (supporting roles including Governor Jim Applewhite in The Dukes of Hazzard), Sarah Lancaster (Ellie Bartowski in CHUCK), Michael Ironside, Judy Blume, Ray Kurzweil, Joanna Kerns, comedy headliner Ari Shaffir, 

... 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 (which tells me which celebrations we (Catholics) are celebrating, and which color Vestments the clergy are wearing) tells us that this day's a day for Green (with an Optional Memorial (in White) for the Blessed Virgin Mary.
