Once again it’s time for Weird Wednesday! Yes, it’s a little late. I forgot what day it was…oops! 
For this WW, I’ve found eBay auctions with items about some famous folks who have birthdays today.
On November 2nd…
Former pop star Adam Ant (his real name is Stuart Goddard) turns 51. Here’s an auction for some Adam Ant memorabelia, including a poster and some pictures. Remember the “Goody Two Shoes” song? That’s Mr. Ant.
Adam Ant in the 80s. Looks like he’s wearing “the puffy shirt” from Seinfeld.
You may not remember his name, but he was the Russian boxer in Rocky IV. His name is Dolph Lundgren, and he’s not actually Russian but Swedish. He turns 46 today. Here’s an auction for a photograph of Lundgren as Ivan Drago from the Rocky IV movie fighting boxer Apollo Creed (actor Carl Weathers).
“I will break wind!”…I mean…”I will break you!”
Comedian Dennis Miller turned 52 today. Here’s an auction for his book, I Rant, Therefore I Am. You may remember him from Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update. Or maybe from the Net Zero commercials on TV.

It’s hard to believe that the lovely Kate Capshaw is 52 today. Capshaw starred in such movies as Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, The Quick and the Dead, Black Rain, How to Make an American Quilt and The Love Letter. Here’s an auction for a very nice photograph of Capshaw signed by the actress.
Actress Kate Capshaw.
There’s nobody tougher than Charles Bronson, who turned 84 today. Bronson starred in movies such as The Dirty Dozen, The Battle of the Bulge, and the Death Wish movies I-V. Here’s a photo of Bronson looking as tough as nails.
Tommy O’Shea (actor Michael Parks): Do guns make you nervous? Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson): Guns have their uses. Idiots with guns make me nervous.
Happy birthday to these folks and everyone else with a birthday on this Weird Wednesday!
