The man who created (indirectly) this very newsgroup is 51 today.

(And yes, indirectly is valid. After all, he created OFF, and if he had not, there would be no alt.tv.simpsons.)

Here's another mind-blower. I know of two people who "met" on a "Simpsons"-related message board, then hit it off in real life, and then got married. If they have kids, there will then be someone who essentially owes his (or her) very existence to "The Simpsons," and indirectly Matt Groening.

Not that you're reading this, but Happy Birthday, Matt!

While were at it we have to thank they guys who invented the internet, usenet, electricity, and the computer monitor.

had

internet,

internet: Al Gore, or some guy at a bathing suit company. usenet: don't know Professor Frink, perhaps? hairnet: Lunch Lady Doris electricity: DISCOVERED, NOT INVENTED, by some guy 500 years ago. Back when people used "V" instead of "U". computer monitor: same guy who invented TV.

Don't forget to thank all those animators in 3rd world countries who are constanly being prodded by mean looking soldiers with bayonets!

Ben Franklin discovered electricity in lightning years ago. These days I've discovered it takes a Ben Franklin to pay my electric light bill.

I wish George Washington or Abe Lincoln had discovered it instead.

Yeah, Lincoln is on the penny, and Washington is on the quarter.
