A Quarter of a Century

On August 6, 2007 (Monday) I will turn 25 years old. That is a quarter of a century! YUCK!


August 6th is the 218th day of the year, leaving 147 days to the end of the year.

August 6th is the day Jamaica celebrates its Independence day.

On my Birthday in:
1787 - Sixty proof sheets of the Constitution of the United States were delivered to the Constitutional Convention.
1926 - Harry Houdini performed his greatest feat, spending 91 minutes underwater in a sealed tank before escaping.
1945- World War II: Hiroshima is devastated when an atomic bomb, "Little Boy", is dropped by the United States B-29 Enola Gay. Around 90,000 people were killed instantly.
1962 - Jamaica becomes independent.
1984 - Pop star Prince releases Purple Rain, the album which would launch him to superstardom.
2001 - White House briefing entitled Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S. delivered to George W. Bush. This document foreshadowed the September 11, 2001 attacks.
