A joke a played on my wife a month ago, and her payback to me today, got me to wonder, anyone cool born on my birthday (I knew Hendrix).

I've got on the cool scale.

Jimi Hendrix (one of the greats)
Bruce Lee (even dead he still kicks Chuck Norris's arse)
Bill Nye
Andres Celsius (invented the centigrade scale)


Dozens of famous and semi famous people in the middle of the pack.
(I'm sure the first King of Isreal would be insulted by me having him in the middle of the pack, but as I type this, I can't remember his name, so middle of the pack is the best that king will be)


to the lame o's on the bottom of the pack.

Jaleel White
Eddie Rabbit

But someones grandma may think their the cool ones and not Bruce and Jimi, that's why we put them in nursing homes.......
