Anders Celsius, Swedish inventor of the centigrade thermometer, born today in 1701. Or 3093.8, I guess, in Fahrenheit. He's on May 14.


Cornelius Vanderbilt, philanthropist, born today in 1843; and see my derogatory comment about wealthy philanthropists on November 26!. Railroads and shipping in his case. Dagny Taggart versus John Galt! 


Chaim Weizmann, modern Israel's first President, born today in 1874
