This is the the page where I will organize all of the little "lists" that I accumulated of Wikipedia articles.

Aries Calendar
It seems to me, at least, that many of the greatest minds and figures of mankind were born around these astrological days (Mar 20 - Apr 20). They are usually characters who have to be extremely intelligent to perform their functions, defy the establishment and/or have visionary/revolutionary ideas. Particularly true for the limited mentions of actors/entertainers in the list. Oddly enough, these listed here are some of my favorite people. Though credit should also be given to people born in october (Lennon, Ghandi, Garrincha, Pelé, Lula, Andre Geim, Nietzsche, Niels Bohr, Bill Gates, Mario Capecchi...).


 * Mar 21 - Ayrton Senna
 * Mar 24 - Harry Houdini
 * Mar 25 - Wladmir Klitchko
 * Mar 26 - Richard Dawkins, Larry Page
 * Mar 27 - Quentin Tarantino
 * Mar 29 - Mohamed Bouazizi, Sam Walton
 * Mar 30 - Vincent van Gogh
 * Mar 31 - Al Gore
 * Apr 1 - Wangari Maathai, Vitor Belfort, Otto von Bismarck
 * Apr 3 - Jane Goodall, Eddie Murphy
 * Apr 4 - David Blaine
 * Apr 6 - Raphael,James D. Watson
 * Apr 8 - Kofi Annan
 * Apr 10 - Bernardo Houssay
 * Apr 11 - James Parkinson

May seems to be the month of the people I'd love to be but know I wont: John Kennedy, Vladmir Putin, Salvador Dali, George Carlin, Ai Weiwei, Tony Hawk, Ronnie Coleman, Niccolo Machiavelli, Mark Zuckerberg, Bob Dylan, Bono, Jack Johnson, people who by the way, are often very humble.

June-July seems to be the month of the Actors/Actresses that are good at that. Many of which I happen to like. Tom Hanks, Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp, Natalie Portman, Marilyn Monroe, Tom Cruise, Arnold Schwarznegger (and other successful people that gain a living "looking like something without truly being some" such as top model Gisele Bündchen, Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan and both George Bushes. This vagueness and pursuit of appearances also applies intellectually such is the case of Karl Popper )

Articles/contributions that "smell funny"
If you happen to agree and decide to step forward, please make me aware. I do realize some of these articles have supporters that go beyond of what me, a wikignome, can handle.
