August 31st – Today in History
Today is the 243rd day of the year 2007. There are 122 days left in the year. No event of significant happened today. I do wonder why today is a public holiday in Malaysia ? Could it be because today is Debbie Gibson's birthday ? Since a lot of us are fans of Debbie Gibson, I think it is appropriate today be a rest day as mark of respect to this western icon of music. So, today I can afford to spend more times in the toilet in the morning. Spending more time in the toilet doing what ? Do I need to give you graphic descriptions of what people normally do in the toilet ?
