		<description>I knew his birthday was in August some time and that there is incorrect information published here and there as to what the exact day is.  It is good to hear it from a trustworthy source.

Happy belated birthday, Randi!  You share it with the legendary Stan Freberg.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s Randi&#039;s birthday?  Really?  So where&#039;s the evidence, huh? How come people never seem to have a birth certificate handy when they make these kinds of claims, or if they do have one, it&#039;s always blurry and looks suspiciously like a streetlamp, or something?

Oh well, I suppose I can take it on faith just this one time.
