Today in literary history: The birth of Thomas Jefferson, 3rd President of the United States, and primary author of the Declaration of Independence, who used to have his birthday parties on April 2 because they were stupid and still used the Julian calendar, not the Gregorian calendar that we use and which totally rocks.
