Also Born on May 11th

I always enjoy reading in the paper which celebrities have the same birthday as I do. By far, Salvador Dali is my favorite. So as a birthday tribute, I thought I'd write a little bit about him. He was born May 11, 1904, and sadly died January 23, 1989, shortly before I was born. Perhaps we're too eccentric to occupy the earth at the same time?

His best known work is called The Persistence of Memory, which was completed in 1931. He is mostly known for his bizarre paintings, but also worked in different mediums with Walt Disney and Alfred Hitchcock.

My favorite game is to discover how many degrees there are between me and different celebrities. For instance, there are only three degrees between me and Ben Affleck and Matt Damon (and I do kind of count them as the same person).
