Jan 16---Brad Miller was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

I thought his birthday was April 12th.?

 

[hoopsfan]

I think that's just the "fact o' the day"...not necessarily that his birthday was on that day.
(Though I may be wrong...being an obnoxious Laker fan and all.)

Go Steelers!

 

[loopymitch]

^ you're probably right, I think I just read it wrong. I need to go to bed!
(and yes you are obnoxious)
Steelers, ugh!

I am simply giving you a "fact" or "trivia question" that is listed on the daily calendar for Jan 16. It does not mean that it happened on that day.

The fact listed on Jan 16th, on my new daily calendar, is all I was passing along. I am going to give you a fact or trivia question every day, but the date itself means nothing.

 

[loopymitch]

Sorry 6th. I was tired and read it wrong. I didn't mean to interrupt. I'll pay more attention.
