Tuesday, April 7th, 1981

That’s my birthday.  I discovered this (the “Tuesday” part) while talking to a student here at Giant Steps.

Student:  Hello.

Ed Furlong:  Hi.

Student:  When is your birthday?

Ed:  April 7th.

Student:  (Pauses)  What is the year? (sic)

Ed:  1981

Student: (Pauses for no more than 1.5 seconds)  You were born on a Tuesday.

Ed:  You know, I think you’re right…

Helen (teacher):  He’s never wrong.

    That really amazes the crap out of me. (your correct use of sic - not the student’s knowledge, which is amazing, just not what first amazed me)
