  2. Wow, first 2 are some of my favorite actor/actresses, and they have the same birthday, weird. The rest is simply mind opening as well, had no idea about those holidays or DaVinci's birthday either.

  3. I wouldn't call Tax Day a holiday and I am in the camp that thinks that Seth Rogen sounds as though he is being funny but actually isn't.

  9. Emma Watson is a little under a year older than me? I didn't know that! Not interested in her, but nice to know if I took a shot at her we'd be in the same age range haha
