 Badass Birthday

On this date, in 1914 in New York City, Jonas Salk was born. 

Jonas Salk was virologist and medical researcher.   He developed once of first effective polio vaccine.   And yeah, that's great, but in addition to that, he chose not to patent it, so it could be made by anyone and that allowed it to be mass produced for distribution all over the world. Truly a badass move!  He sated vaccinations in 1955 and succeeded in lower polio infections worldwide! 

He passed away in 1995 at the age of 81.

 Badass Birthday

On this date in 1939 near Cardiff and Bristol in England, was born John Cleese. 

John Cleese was of course a founding member of the iconic and influential Monty Python's Flying Circus.  He also created, wrote and starred in the hilarious Fawlty Towers.   Beyond these, he's also and actor, comedian, screenwriter, and producer.  He's won 3 BAFTA awards and been nominated for an Oscar, a Golden Globe and several Emmys and Grammy.  He's appeared in movies such as A Fish Called Wanda, Shrek, and both the James Bond (as R, the successor to Q) franchise and the Harry Potter franchise (as Nearly Headless Nick). 

But really, had he only done Monty Python and then retired and did nothing else, he would be a badass for that alone!

This leaves just two remaining cast members from the original series: William (Captain Kirk) Shatner and George (Lt. Sulu) Takei.   Takei posted a touching statement today on Facebook.

I've nothing more to add to that. 

Rest in peace, Walter Koenig.
