One of my closest friends has a birthday today. Since he has own online deal going, I’m not going to spoil it by putting up embarrassing pictures of him eating 3 lbs of gummi bears (although if any of his friends have embarrassing pictures they want to give me…)

But I wanted to say Happy Birthday, and here’s some other pretty awesome people who share your special day.

clockwise from top right: Bootsy Collins, Cary Elwes, Mahalia Jackson and Seth McFarlane. Yeah, you know, all the best!
