On this day in 1572, Pope Gregory XIII was born. He’s the
pope who commissioned the calendar most of the world uses. Of course, he wasn’t
called Gregory when he was born. His parents named him Ugo. (I guess we’re
pretty lucky we’re not using the Ugonian calendar.) On this day in 1964,
Nicholas Cage was born. He’s famous for several movies like It Could Happen to
You, National Treasure, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, and The Family Man. He’s
also famous for blowing his fortune on dinosaur bones, Lamborghinis and islands
in the Bahamas. On this day in 1971, Jeremy Renner was born: the actor who
portrayed Hawkeye in several Marvel movies. He’s currently in hospital,
recovering from being run over by a 7-ton snow plow. But the most important
person to be born on this day was Heather, in 1986. An event as significant as
this can’t just be celebrated in one day. We started Friday, and we'll still be partying Monday.
