What happened on January 12?

We all love a good story, don’t we? A nice novel for a winter evening.
Well, good news for you then, because today is the birthday of Jack London (*1876).

In case you’re looking for a bit of statesmanship and deeper writing, Edmund Burke (*1729) is your man!

Are you rather in the mood for some magic? No problem!
The Amazing Kreskin (*1935) keeps you enchanted all night long with his tricks.

But in case you want to enchant yourself, have a look at transcendental meditation techniques. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (*1918) has all the ins & outs for you.

Lazy and not really up for anything active? No worries, we got you covered with Zayn Malik (*1993) for an evening of cheesy songs. And/or Howard Stern (*1954) on your radio or TV screen.

More a fan of browsing through your options yourself? We heard Jeff Bezos (*1964) created a nice little shop where you’ll find just what you’re looking for!
All sorts of stuff to be found over there. Maybe you’ll even find Joe Frazier‘s (*1944) boxing gloves in there.

And in case you feel really adventurous today and don’t want to spend the night at home, head over to the docks and jump aboard cruise ship RMC Queen Mary 2, which made her maiden voyage in 2004.
