Ah, March 16th! A fine day in the grand calendar of human existence, a day bursting with history and—more importantly—cake, because someone out there is celebrating a birthday. But before we get to the confetti and candles, let’s take a little dive into history, shall we?

On this very day in 1926, one of humanity’s most explosive ideas finally took off—literally. Dr. Robert H. Goddard launched the world’s first liquid-fueled rocket in Auburn, Massachusetts. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Alice, what’s so special about that?" Oh, I don’t know, maybe just the small fact that this little experiment paved the way for space travel, moon landings, and the invention of freeze-dried astronaut ice cream, which is, frankly, one of the great miracles of modern science. Picture Dr. Goddard, out there in a cabbage field, lighting the fuse on what would eventually lead to jetpacks. Well, okay, maybe not jetpacks. But we’re getting there.

And speaking of rocket-powered talent, today is also the birthday of the one and only Jerry Lewis! Born on March 16, 1926, the same year Goddard was sending rockets skyward, Lewis sent audiences into orbit with his comedic genius. Whether you remember him from his slapstick humor, his legendary comedy duo with Dean Martin, or his heartfelt work as a humanitarian, one thing’s for sure—his impact on entertainment is timeless. If ever there were a man who could trip over absolutely nothing and turn it into comedy gold, it was Jerry Lewis.

So, if you’re celebrating a birthday today, first of all—congratulations, you made it another year! Hopefully with fewer pratfalls than Jerry. Whether you're planning something low-key or going for a full-blown “cake so big it needs structural support” kind of party, I hope it’s a fantastic one. You share this day with pioneering scientists and legendary comedians, which means you're in pretty impressive company.

So light those candles, make a wish, and try not to launch anything accidentally. Happy Birthday!
