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.

July 21 - Burns passes and Robin Williams is born

 Today would have been Robin Williams' 70th birthday.  I miss his comedy, even if some of it was a little 'strong' at times.  Funnily enough, he was born also on the same day as another funny man, Don Knotts (1924) - I imagine Mr. Furley and Mork would have been a funny TV show combo.

Much earlier on in history, 1796, was the passing of the immortal Scottish poet, Robbie Burns.

Top if off with the fact that the USA is celebrating National Junk Food Day (I would have thought that was every day down there 😂)
