Jewish New Year

Today is the start of the Jewish New Year. Did you know that 37% of all United States Nobel Prize winners in the 20th century were Jewish. Also, these things were invented by Jewish-Americans: the shopping cart, the Corvette, the pacemaker, the Polaroid, and the laser.

I thought I might mention my favorite "Chosen Ones":

Writers and animators - Ralph Bakshi, animator (Fritz the Cat, Lord of the Rings), Rube Goldberg, Stan freakin' Lee, Isaac Asimov, Michael Chabon, Saul Bellow, Max Brooks (wrote one of my favorite books...World War Z), BOB DYLAN (also a musician, of course), Allen Ginsberg, Johnathan Kozol, Ayn Rand(Actually became an atheist), Maurice Sendak(Where the Wild Things Are), Shel Silverstein (Where the Sidewalk Ends among others)
Musicians - Herb Alpert(not too sure about the Tijuanna Brass though), Lenny Kravitz, Courtney Love, Mel Torme, Joey Ramone, Lou Reed
Sports - Sandy Koufax, Mike Lieberthal, Red Auerbach, Lyle Alzado
Actors - too many to list so just a couple - Jeremy Piven, Bob Saget, Katey Sagal
Saira

I found many of these names at Wikipedia.

Happy New Year and L'Chiam! To life!
