As I'm turning 37 today, I wanted to share a few fun facts about my day of birth.

I'm sharing my birthday with following celebrities:

• Julie Andrews

• Jimmy Carter

On October 1st in history ...

... Belgium was conquered by France in 1795

... National Geographic magazine publishes for the very 1st time in 1888

... The University of Chicago opens in 1892

... The first Dutch electric railway is taken in use between Rotterdam and The Hague in 1908

... Radio Denmark begins transmitting in 1948

... Nigeria becomes the 99th member of the United Nations in 1960

... Walt Disney World opens in Bay Lake, Florida in 1971

And with that I'll end my shorter post today, as I have a very good bottle of whisky waiting for me tonight ;)
