I like Kit Kat bars.


I was born the same day as Judge Reinhold, in the year that the influenza pandemic (also called "Asian flu"): Influenza A virus subtype H2N2, first identified in Guizhou province of China, spread to Singapore. It reaches Hong Kong by April and the United States by June, killing at least 1 million people worldwide.






Who's that handsome devil in the pic? That guy looks like he was born in '57.

Here's mine... I was born in the early morning 4:37 AM 3 months premature and I've been late ever since. I was in the hospital for almost a month before I could go home. It was a complete surprise, my mom got me home and had put me in my crib, and left instructions for my sisters to do the laundry while she slept. So my sisters did the laundry took it out of the dryer and not knowing I was home yet dumped the whole laundry basket of clothes on me as I slept.

1974

Some highlights from that year:
LINK

January 11 – David, Elizabeth, Emma, Grant, Jason and Nicolette Rosenkowitz are born in Cape Town, the first recorded occurrence of sextuplets in the world where all six babies survive.

February 4 – Heiress Patty Hearst is kidnapped outside her apartment in Berkeley, California, by the Symbionese Liberation Army.

March 3 – Turkish Airlines Flight 981, travelling from Paris to London, crashes in a wood near Paris, killing all 346 aboard. This becomes the deadliest single aircraft accident with no survivors.

March 29
The Terracotta Army of Qin Shi Huang is discovered at Xi'an, China.

April 3–4 – An enormous tornado outbreak strikes the central parts of the United States, killing around 319 people. Known as the "1974 Super Outbreak", the event was the largest of its kind until the 2011 Super Outbreak.

May 18 - Nuclear weapons testing: Under Project Smiling Buddha, India successfully detonates its first nuclear weapon, becoming the 6th nation to do so.

June 4 – The Cleveland Indians stage an ill-advised Ten Cent Beer Night for a game against the Texas Rangers at Cleveland Municipal Stadium. Cleveland forfeits after alcohol-fueled mayhem and violence spread from the stands onto the field.

July 19 – Railcar explosion in Decatur, Illinois. A tanker car collides with a Norfolk & Western boxcar. Seven people are killed, 349 are injured and $18 million in property damage.[

Watergate scandal:

August 9 - Vice President Gerald Ford is sworn in as the 38th President of the United States upon Nixon's resignation.

September 8th - President Gerald Ford pardons former president Richard Nixon.

October 30 – The Rumble in the Jungle takes place in Kinshasa, Zaire, where Muhammad Ali knocks out George Foreman in eight rounds to regain the Heavyweight title, which had been stripped from him seven years earlier.

November 13
Ronald DeFeo Jr., murders his entire family in their home in Amityville on Long Island, an event that inspires the story of The Amityville Horror.

November 16 – Arecibo message: The radio telescope at the Arecibo Observatory on Puerto Rico sends an interstellar radio message towards Messier 13, the Great Globular Cluster in Hercules. The message will reach its destination around the year 27,000.

On October 15, 1951, Dr. Carl Djerassi and student Luis Miramontes, under
the direction of George Rosenkranz, successfully synthesize progestin
norethisterone while working at Syntex. The hormone was a key ingredient
in the creation of the birth control pill and Miramontes was credited with
completing the final step in the synthesizing process.
Pretty sure I beat the Pill by a year plus one week. Dodged THAT bullet...

"I Love Lucy" debuted on the CBS network on October 15th .
The popular film "The Day the Earth Stood Still" debuts.*
Walt Disney's 13th animated feature film "Alice in Wonderland" is released
during July

The first commercial computer to be created in the U.S., the UNIVAC
(Universal Automatic Computer), was dedicated for use at the U.S. Census
Bureau during June . The computer was designed by Presper Eckert and
John Mauchly and was created by the Remington Rand company.
Eckert and Mauchly had also created the first general-purpose computer
(ENIAC) in 1946.
The data-processing machine had 5,000 vacuum tubes, weighed about
16,000 pounds, and measured 14.5 by 7.5 by 9 feet in size. UNIVAC was an
improved version of ENIAC and the first successful commercial computer
created for civilian use. It could do about 1,000 calculations in a second
[woohoo], improving the efficiency of the Census Bureau.

Iran Nationalizes it's Oil Fields
King Abdullah of Jordan assassinated on July 20
President Harry S Truman fires General Douglas MacArthur as commander
of United Nations Forces

And OH YEAH, the US powered up the first breeder reactor... in a nutshell,
a fission machine that can refine Plutonium out of Uranium.
Always kinda handy.
