Today in Dork History...

I always liked those postcards you find in bookstores that have the year you were born and list certain things from that year - like the price of a gallon of milk, how much a new car costs, the top ten songs and the like.

But those are generally for the year...and some for the...week of one's birth.

So, being my 41st birthday today, I thought it would be rather fun to see what went on today - December 18th - in Dork History...

In movies, I share my birthday with: Brad Pitt (Ocean's Eleven), Steven Spielberg (E.T., the Indiana Jones Trilogy, and too many others to list here), Katie Holmes (Batman Begins), Roger E. Mosley (Magnum P.I.) Ray Liotta (Field of Dreams), Robson Green (Wire in the Blood), Josh Dallas (Thor) and the legendary Betty Grable.

Plus, Toys (with Robin Williams) came out December 18, 1992. If you haven't seen it, do so. It's holiday-related...and one of Williams' less comical roles...but still worth a watch.

In music, there's Christina Aguilera (who's gotten better over the years) and Keith Richards (who's awesome).

In comics, Artist Bill Neville was born today as well. Check out his stuff...
