Haha, that's pretty funny these two share a birthday!  Prattchett is great, I must say -- even though I haven't read much of his stuff. >_>

I've read all of Pratchett's discworld books, which is kinda of upsetting.  So now I'm working on a H. P. Lovecraft novel.  Lovecraft is my second-favorite author.  He writes short stories based largely on his insane delusions/nightmares.  Nobody read his works while he was alive, it wasn't until after he died of malnutrition (among other things) that he became known. 

But yeah, I didn't even know that they share a birthday, or that it was today. I was just looking for something that happened on Apr 27 that's not boring, and those came up :)

Wow, I think it's kinda ironic that somebody at my school named "Nadia Hussien" had their birthday as well today.

 ... Weird.

Haha, yeah.  I'm fairly familiar with Lovecraft's stuff.  I think you introduced me to him when I was talking about the Lovecraft quotes Engorged includes at the end of Return of the Living Dead.

Hehe ... that's stragely coincidental.
