    Birthday Trivia...

    I share my birthday with, amongst others, Kublai Khan of the Mongol Empire.

    I entered this world on a Thursday, to the UK chart topper 'Hey Girl Don't Bother Me', by the Tams. Perhaps an appropriate motto that I should have adopted.

    The year's best picture was The French Connection and a dozen eggs were $0.53.

    Elvis Presley had the number 1 song in the US and Britain (but different songs) and I hate Elvis Presley.

    Riddle me this brother can you handle it
    Your style to my style you can't hold a candle to it
    Equinox symmetry and the balance is right
    Smokin' and drinkin' on a Tuesday night
    It's not how you play the game it's how you win it
    I cheat and steal and sin and I'm a cynic
