Having just read in the paper that the remarkable English maverick musician Robert Wyatt (ex-Soft Machine) is 62 today, I thought it might be nice to have a thread in which we can celebrate significant (non-forum) birthdays (as an antidote to the Obituaries thread). Happy Birthday, soulful Robert!  |

Also today were Russian tennis player Murat Safin, English mathematician (and more famously, writer of Alice through the looking glass / Alice in Wonderland), Lewis Carroll, and the extremely gorgeous Rosamund Pike. |

On the subject of significant birthdays, today would have been the 111th birthday of my grandfather, Amos Ray Cope. He was about the coolest, most sensible man I have ever known, and I am proud to have known him. He passed away in 1986 after a five year battle with cancer...and was a true friend of mine till the end. It was he who made it possible for my wife and I to purchase our first house. It was he who taught me how to save and manage money. I owe a lot to my grandpa, and wherever he is today I'd like to wish him a happy birthday.  PeaceRob |

'Tis one of my best friends' birthday today (Tom), and also that of the remarkable nineteenth century child prodigy composer - Felix Mendelssohn - who didn't lose his gift in adulthood. |

We should have a general "birthdays" thread to go with our general "obituaries" thread, so herewith...... Happy birthday to Laura Prepon and Rachel Weisz, who prove my contention that we Pisces are all HAWWTTT* !!  (*spelling approximate) |

I believe I started a thread along these lines in January! If someone less useless than myself at the moment should find it, maybe they could combine the two into one? |

Well, it was both my sisters' birthdays yesterday. TJ missed a trick and didn't post two incredibly hot photos for those two actresses above |

Laura Prepon had an incredible photo shoot in Maxim magazine about five years ago. Let's see who finds it first.

I guess it's true what they say about us Pisces. We are hot. I just gave myself an orgasm.
