August 11th - Thor & Hulk say 500 goodbyes to Robin via radio

 One of my all-time, favourite comedians, died by suicide on August 11th, 2014.  7 years gone, and miss the heck out of Robin Williams.


Nanu nanu.

It's also the date that Hedy Lamar was granted the patent for Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum technology - which is what eventually lead to modern day communication use.  No Hedy Lamar, no wifi.


Also, 13 years before that, in 1929, Babe Ruth hit his 500th homerun.  


It took 11 more years before someone achieved that.   And at a career 714 homeruns he's still #3 in history.  

Last, but not least, it's also Chris Hemsworth's birthday.  Thor turns 38.

Or, Hulk Hogan turns 68.
