A slave to memes

[fivemack]

I am precisely ninety years younger than Esperanto, was born twenty years to the day after the assassination of dictator Armas of Guatemala, and sixty-nine years younger than the organisation which became the FBI.

I share my birthday with George Bernard Shaw, Carl Jung, Aldous Huxley, Kevin Spacey and Sandra Bullock; the Earl of Rochester who appeared in The Libertine died 297 years before I was born, and Eva Peron's death preceded my birth by precisely a quarter-century.
