My birthday song, my happy world (Part 410)...

Badass Birthday

On this date, in 1922, in South Africa, Christiaan Neethling Barnard was born.

Who is Christiaan Barnard you ask? Well, he was a cardiac surgeon and researcher who, back in 1967, performed the first successful human to human heart transplant! His groundbreaking techniques and lifesaving procedures revolutionized medicine. He paved the way for many types of transplants. And despite health issues himself later on that forced his retirement, he worked constantly in philanthropy and advancements in medical science.

He passed away in 2001 at the age of 79. And he dies a badass!

Superhero Anydays

Today, by Mike Belcher, we have the Earth-2, World War II era superhero duo The Star Spangled Kid and his "sidekick" Stripsey, perhaps the only example of the kid being the hero and the adult being the sidekick. They were members of the Seven Soldiers Of Victory as well the wartime All-Star Squadron.

**********************

Also, today, apparently this kid wanted to be Doctor Octopus for Halloween, and his dad said, Let's Roll. And here ya go.

Well done, actually. Pretty good work.

Today, we're traveling back to Season 5 of the I Love Lucy show, and the episode that aired November 7th, 1955: "Homecoming"

For part of last season and part of this season, Lucy, Ricky, Fred, Ethel, Little Ricky and Lucy's mother were in Los Angeles while Ricky worked in the movies. When all that was done, Little Ricky and Lucy's mother flew home while the main gang took the train (which is a particular hilarious episode...but I digress...)

In this episode the main four finally make it back to New York City and their apartment building. They're greeted there by a whole horde of friends waiting on the front stairs. They get reacquainted with friends and start to settle back in.

Everyone treats Ricky as a great big movie star, making Lucy a bit jealous, until a reporter influences her and she starts treating Ricky as a star too.

Not a great episode, not terribly funny, but actually a necessary one to wrap up the whole California storyline.

My birthday song, my happy world (Part 409).....

Badass Birthday

On this date, in 1867, in Warsaw Poland, Marie Curie was born.

Marie Curie was a scientist working in the fields of physics and chemistry. But her groundbreaking work came in her work with radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice, and the only person to win it in two different scientific fields. She worked with her husband Pierre Curie and together they discovered the elements polonium and radium. She coined the phrase "radioactivity" itself. She developed techniques for isolating radioactive isotopes and using radiation in medical technics.

She died in 1934 at the age of 66 from aplastic anemia, probably caused by all her exposures to radiation. Still, she is what I call a genius. And a badass as well.
