Great years for great people to be born
Reading about the great Dutch painter Vermeer, I note that he was born in 1632. Also born in that year were Spinoza, John Locke, and Christopher Wren.
Any ideas on what year produced the greatest crop?

Re: My birth year: 1953
A great year for baseball players: Piazza; Sosa; Olerud; Mussina; Kent; Thomas; Bagwell; Alomar.
On other fronts: Cuba Gooding Jr., actor Lyle Menendez, murderer LL Cool J, rapper Pauly Shore, ? Vlade Divac, best basketball player ever named Vlade Cline Dion, diva (curiously, her husband was born in 1868) Tracy Lords, acrobatic actress Lisa Marie Presley, heiress Doesn't appear there's an Isaac Newton in the bunch, or even in the aggregate . . .

Re: Great years for great people to be born
Hey, why aren't you accepting PM's? I need to PM you. PM me if yer e-mail changed. I don't have it on this computer. Offtopic, but can't be avoided given your PM status. I think there's at least a 33% chance I'll try to get to LA next week sometime. I need to know how to take Archie and iris out to dinner. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
