Oscar Niemeyer, Arthur C. Clarke, and Bob Guccione Walk into a Bar...

... Ouch!

Two weekend birthdays, and a Monday party for you as you figure out how to avoid storm drains in your neighborhood...

This weekend was somebody's birthday! Whose Birthday? Architect Oscar Niemeyer's Birthday. How Old Is He? 1,2,3,4... 100! And Never been Kissed By... Death

Oscar Niemeyer appears on 2 2007 Death Pool rosters and because we're throwing you this party, we leave you with a little goody bag-

• Brazil’s first listed modern monument was Niemeyer’s Pampulha Church of São Francisco de Assis, in Pampulha.

Google Earth confirms its beauty. You can check out the model here.

This weekend was somebody else's birthday! Whose Birthday? Science-fiction author Arthur C. Clarke's Birthday. How Old Is He? 1,2,3,4... 90! And Never been Kissed By... Death

Arthur C. Clarke appears on 1 2007 Death Pool roster and because we're throwing you this party, we leave you with a little goody bag-

• The most fascinating thing I have learned today is Clarke's three laws of prediction:

1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Today (Really, today) is somebody's birthday! Whose Birthday? Penthouse Publisher's Bob Guccione's Birthday. How Old Is He? 1,2,3,4... 77! And Never been Kissed By... Death

Bob Guccione appears on 1 2007 Death Pool roster and because we're throwing you this party, we leave you with a little goody bag-

• In the 90's, Guccione's efforts to regain Penthouse sales and notoriety included attempts to get Monica Lewinsky to pose for the magazine and offering the Unabomber a free forum for his views.
  

He was not successful.

... And Many More!
