8 August 18

Happy Birthday, Jimmy Wales (1966-)! In 2001, Jimmy Wales co-founded Wikipedia, one of our best fountains of knowledge. One fact recorded in Wikipedia about Wales is that he was born shortly before midnight on 7 August, but his birth certificate shows his birth date as 8 August. That's your Wikipedia trivia note for today! My tie shows Looney Tunes® characters cavorting among character strings that resemble Web addresses.
