Happy Birthday Thomas

And, oh yeah, it's anniversary season for D-Day and Tienanmen Square and stuff.

Discuss.

You mean Thomas Mann, 1875? Never read him. Not sure I've read many Germans. Some Grass, a couple Hesse. Can't think of anyone else.

Thomas M and Thomas A both share June 6. The latter managed to combine his birthday with the day's other major anniversary at the Reading PA air show on Sunday. He later moved on to the demolition of an Incredibles (TM) theme cake.

I bet he hasn't read many German novels either.

I enjoyed Death in Venice.

Martha called me a nazi yesterday! (Bit of a cheek really when you consider that she's far more the collectivist than I -just thinking about Tianamen Sq).
