It’s a special day……….

Why?

353,000 new folks will be born today.

Thursday is an oft forgotten day - but were you aware:

The Beatles invaded America - quietly, selling 7,310 copies of Please, Please Me. (Thursday, Feb 13, 1963)

Thursday, June 20, 1782, the Eagle was chosen as the official emblem of the US.

Da Vinci was born (Thursday, 4/15/1452) seeya soon Mona Lisa.

Thursday, 6/15/1752, Ben Franklin did his thing with the kite and the key.

Margaret Gorman, age 16, was crowned the first Miss America, Thursday, 9/8/1921.

Syncon 1 was launched on Valentine’s Day, Thursday, 2/14/’63, becoming the first satellite having a period of rotation synchronous with the earth’s rotation. Communcation was lost soon after launch, but just remember, every Thursday mebbe, that sucker is still up there orbiting.

We became free, Thursday, 7/4/1776 as Congress approved the Declaration of Independence avowing so.

Pac-Man, on Thursday, May 22nd, 1980 was launched in Japan. I know I’m stretching for things, bite me.

Old English, originally “Thor’s Day.” Jupiter is sometimes used to represent Thursday.

Elections in The UK, Movie Premiers in Australia, University Graduations in Thailand are almost always on Thursdays.

Oh shit Thursdays:
Hindenburg… Malaysia Flight 17.. Hartford Circus Fire…..

Throwback Thursday… People post pics of themselves when they once had flat bellies..or, of their kids, before they became smart aleck, selfish teenagers..

Born on a Thursday… Daisy Fuentes, Gary Coleman, Charlize Theron, Christina Aguilera, Christina Applegate, Elizabeth Hurley, Chris Christie, Debra Messing, Fergie, Claire Danes, Clay Aiken, Floyd Mayweather Jr, Erin Andrews.

There are 52 Thursdays this year. If the year starts on a Thursday in a non leap year, there'll be 53 Thursdays. Or, during a Leap Year, if either of the first two days lands on a Thursday, there will also be 53 Thursdays.

It is said single women are more likely to have sex Monday thru Thursday. (Women in a relationship moreso on Friday and Saturday.) The site I found didn't address men, but it's a given, men think about sex on Thursday. (And, FSSMTW) For those thirsty (not Thursday) there are, on average, 5 to 10 million people having sex at any given moment (in spite of the notion Wednesday is Hump Day.)

Bloggers have a rough time thinking of what to write about on Thursday.

The vast majority of people are bored to tears on Thursday, thus, they’ll read virtually anything, including this crap.

I was born on a Monday. You? To compute, go to https://www.timeanddate.com/date/weekday.html

Go, do, run, jump, smile, hug, phone a friend, clean your house naked, be thankful…

For……

151,600 people will die today.

Happy Thursday,
Love, Victurd
