Notable Birthdays

Oooooh. Fancy.

The list of people born on 6 September includes:

the Marquis de Lafayette, who soldiered with Washington in the American Revolution;

John Dalton, famous chemist;

Jane Addams, feminist, pacifist, and humanist;

Joseph Kennedy, profiteer and patriarch;

Jane Curtin, actress and comedienne;

Keone Young, actor (plays Mr. Wu on Deadwood);

and, most importantly, Bethel Sharma, soon-to-be famous chemist and absolutely wonderful human being.

That's right. It's Bethel's birthday. Wish her a happy one, or I'll have the voodoo lady put a gris-gris on your ass. And that, you don't want.
