Wow-- I do belive there is a conspiracy theory on this. I will not go much into it because last time people got really really really really mad at my theory and thoughts on it. I will leave it at that.

if I remember correctly, the Oklahoma bombing and Waco - in the eyes of some was to honor Hitler..birthday 4-19.
I think the Oklahoma City bomber admitted to that.
Also my brothers birthday...but we try to not think of it that way.

Thats a good thing!
I think its a good idea to also point out the good things that have happened in April.
Sometimes you just need to hear how many planes landed safely today instead of the ones that didnt. :-?

Penny..without that date, we wouldnt have the queen :wink: ..so we all celebrate it 8)

Lincoln was shot on April 14 and died on April 15. The Titanic actually hit the iceberg April 14 and sunk sometime after midnight so it was April 15 also. Not the first 2 things I would pick that happened on my birthday.
what I really mean . . . I wish you were here
