In today's geek climate having a birthday with an awesome fictional character means all kinds of cool points. It's funny to me how much resonance that last sentence has.
There was a day when being a geek was un-cool. That day has long since passed. Where once knowing Captain America's real name made you an easy target, and knowing the name of the voice actor who portrays the always awesome Optimus Prime turned you into fodder in the schoolyard has now since won over most of society to the point where geek has become the new cool. These are exciting times we live in (btw, it's Steve Rogers and Peter Cullen, respectively).
It's a time when personal bias has taken a back seat to more open-mindedness. People have let their guards down. Technology has started to take equal footing with so-called science-fiction. It's EASIER for people to believe.
It's finally become COOL to believe. Better, it's finally become time to accept cool for being cool.
Superpowers are cool.
As are starships.
And fedoras.
And so on and so forth.
So it should come as no surprise that it is now time to learn which awesomely fictional character shares your birthday.
The above is just for January.
You must go here: My birthday falls on Dobby's from Harry Potter, which ain't too shabby IMO.
Check it out and enjoy!
