You May Have Overlooked...

Since today is Martin Luther King Jr Day, I thought it might be appropriate to acknowledge some of the other famous people born on January 17. Of course, Martin Luther King Jr was born on January 15, but since that was a Saturday it's better that we celebrate on a work day so we don't have to do anything.

Here are some famous 1/17 birthdays (thanks to www.famousbirthdays.com)

Benjamin Franklin
Al Capone
James Earl Jones
Maury Povich
Muhammad Ali
Andy Kaufman
Jim Carrey
Kid Rock

Between all these guys, they founded Philadelphia, stole amazing amounts of money from the government, been in many well known movies, interviewed scores of pregnant teenagers, beaten up some of the best boxers in the world and slept with tons of women. That's quite a list of accomplishments, so here's to you, the "other" birthday boys today.

1. They've been in movies too.
2. I was primarily thinking of Kid Rock, who is Republican, and thus does not sleep with men.
