1720 Baron von Karl Freidrich Münchausen - German hunter and soldier who fought with the Russians against the Turks and returned to tell the most exaggerated tales, which eventually became The Adventures of Baron Münchausen

Was he the one that Münchausen Syndrome was named after?







1911 Phil Silvers - Actor and comedian (The Phil Silvers Show/Sergeant Bilko, The Beverly Hillbillies, It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World

I watched It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World for the 2nd time in about six months on Saturday night because I read that the original had about 12 minutes more than was on the DVD. (I have the DVD). The only difference I could find was that there was a very long prelude of music at the beginning and end. If that was it, BIG deal.
