[edit] My Birthday
- Hi all, My name is Greg Brotzge and this is my birthday!!!! Just thought I'd let you all know. Thanks for listening
- It's mine to. I think being born on the same day that St. Petersburg was founded may have given me some extra credit in Russian History class.
Congratulations Greg!

[edit] Suggestions For Removal
- "May 27, 2006: The final of the 2006 Super 14 will be played." I fail to see the encyclopedic relevance of this fact; finals in sports tournaments are played all over the world on any given day. (Btw, May 27th is my birthday too :-)
