Did You Know a #HappyBirthday is shared by @BilliePiper & @TomFelton & WHOLE #September22 #BirthdayCohort @Bing lists today on #ElephantAppreciationDay ? | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates @YourTango @MySundayMass
... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &/or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'
Holidays Calendar explains #Elephant Appreciation Day in a report you can access through 'the emboldened link(s)' 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 word “Elephant” is built on ancient words that mean "|Ivory" (or possibly adapted from words that mean "|Camel")
#Elephants #Elephantiasis #Elephantine #Oliphant (obsolete spelling ... though it does remind me of the surname Oliphant (which actually means Elephant)
It 'thrills me' a little 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' ...
This Day's Birthday-Cohort
Astrologically, their sign is Virgo (on the cusp of Libra) ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Andrea Bocelli, Joan Jett (on the exact same day! (same year)), Tatiana Maslany (She-Hulk (Attorney at Law), ORPHAN BLACK), Scott Baio, Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies), Michael Faraday ("the father of electricity"), baseball-pitcher & -manager Tommy Lasorda, Laura Vandervoort (Kara "Supergirl" Zor-El on SMALLVILLE), Billie Piper (a Companion of DOCTOR WHO), Bonnie Hunt,
... and many others (most of whom are at the 'Birthday-Cohort' link)---
