So the guy who wrote You Can't Go Home Again, the tigerfucker, the black dude with big hair who wants to bang Teresa Heinz Kerry, one of the two coolest motherfuckers named Stevie, the voice of 1/2 of Star Wars' worst character, the most overrated member of Motley Crue, a wannabe James Bond, just a girl, some boy band douchebag, Stifler, a lip-synch champion, a hot girl with deformed titties, and the greatest non-artist in comic book history were all born this day?

I hereby declare this to be Fred Couples Day.

What the hell? Neve Cambell and the '300/Sarah Connor' chick are the same age?

If Tommy Lee's penis was born first, why is it on the list after him?

I like how Greg Proops "Comedian" is in quotes. Kudos to that edit.

If Tommy Lee's penis was born first, why is it on the list after him?

I fixed it. Stupid internet. Always full of wrong info and typos (like born).

[Senor JabbaJohnL]

I just figured it took a while to develop (though two years was an odd amount).

On this day in history, I support Joe Biden for Vice President!



Because you were going to spend twenty bucks on paper towels anyway.

1926 - Harry Houdini died
1941 - Battle of Britain ended

1961 - Peter Jackson was born
1963 - Rob Schneider was born (oh, to go back in time and use a coat hanger on his mother...)
1967 - Vanilla Ice was born

[anarky]

Did you mean for the coat hanger line to appear with Rob Schneider or Vanilla Ice? Schneider's not that bad... as long as he's a sidekick.

[Slicker]

I meant for it to be next to Schneider but I suppose "V-Ice" could've used it too.
