TIL my wife shares a birthday with Gene Roddenberry

(This was quietly deleted from the @startrek.webaite magazine without explanation, so I'm putting it here if that's alright. If talking about Star Trek isn't allowed, what is?)

We were talking about what famous people we shared a birthday with. She told me she already knew about Bill Clinton, so I looked up a list and learned for the first time that Gene Roddenberry was born on August 19th.

Then I was surprised again to find out that Jonathan Frakes has the same birthday.

Then I was surprised AGAIN to find out that Jonathan Frakes' character, William T. Riker, also has the same birthday.

AND, according to Memory Alpha:

  • William Marshall (Dr. Daystrom)
  • Diana Muldaur (Ann Mulhall / Miranda Jones / Dr. Pulaski)
  • Robert Blackman (Costume Designer)

My birthday, not so interesting. She doesn't even like Star Trek. 😑

You fool! Now we know your wife's birthday and send her gifts!

I'm not sure what happens then, my plan isn't final yet. But... hahahahaha!

I need to check my birthday. I'm hoping on Data.

Was probably removed because it's more talking about you and your wife than about Star Trek
