White Rabbit Day

[howeird]

Today is Dr. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson's birthday. Lewis Carrol to most of you. In honor of his Alice books, this is traditionally White Rabbit day. Find a hole, dive in, and come out the other end with a surreal experience.

Shoulda been named Mad Hatter day.

Mozart
Judge Learned Hand
Admiral Hyman Rickover
Donna Reed
Bridget Fonda

Mozart and Rickover have the same birthday? That's cosmically amusing.

My uncle used to work for Rickover...helped design the shielding around the reactors on nuclear subs.
