    I agree for this August one. My birthday falls in that month. Maybe I will start a countdown like on the wonderful Christmas threads...

    I'm still not sure if the existence of August is really justified, I mean what did the Romans ever do for us ?

    Well that’s a pretty good point. Nothing springs to mind of any importance from the Romans. Especially around here,
    What about March then ?

    Anyway August is in the Gregorian calendar and to further support the importance of remembering August...
    August was the 55th most common name given to a baby boy in Sweden in 2014
    Henry VI Part 1 and The Tempest are the only plays by Shakespeare that mention the month of August.

    All these events took place in August...
    At a 'zebra crossing' in London, photographer Iain Macmillan took one of the most famous photographs of all time, the cover of the Beatles album, Abbey Road.
    Nickelodeon aired the first episodes of "Doug", "Rugrats" and "Ren & Stimpy"
    South Park aired for the first time on Comedy Central
    Vladimir Nabokov's controversial novel Lolita was published in the United States.(<ghost> Spooky!)
    Melbourne, Australia was founded.

    I have many more available!:1980_boogie_down:
