Happy Birthday Charles!



That's right...the neuroscience major, the MixMatch founder, the man we all know as Charles celebrates his 25th birthday today. He now joins the ranks of 25 year olds everywhere that can rent a car, pay for the extra insurance and blow it up. He also is no longer eligible to get talked down to for being 24.

I was told that no one else had this birthday, that it was Charles' and his alone...I challenge that using my favorite, wikipedia...here's some notables that Charles might one day join as famous people born on the 27th of July, as well as some deaths and historic events:

-Bugs Bunny made his debut in 1940
-In 1974, Congress votes to impeach Nixon on a 27 to 11 vote
-In 1996, the bombing at the Olympic Games in Atlanta, GA takes place
-1824: Alexandre Dumas (author of Count of Monte Cristo)
-1975: Alex Rodriguez (NY Yankee)
-1977: Jonathan Rhys-Meyers (actor, Match Point)
-1946: Gertrude Stein (novelist) dies
-1988: Frank Zamboni (inventor of the Zamboni ice smoothing machine) dies
-2003: Bob Hope dies
-Maldives and Cuba both celebrate Independence Days

Last night we had a little BBQ at his place and in celebration, we threw him in the pool. Here's a video of that. The lighting is horrible, so I don't want to hear about how it's too dark to see anything, but you kinda get the idea. Don't miss out tonight as we go out and attempt to make sure his 25th is one he'll never remember.
