About this listen
Let’s start with a quick hop into the historical hot tub—on this day, back in 1859, Big Ben chimed for the very first time in London. That’s right, the big clock that’s more punctual than your mom’s reminders to call your Aunt Margaret finally sang its first dong-ding-ding. Contrary to popular belief, Big Ben isn’t the tower — that’s Elizabeth Tower — Big Ben is the bell. He’s just had better PR over the years. I mean, who knew a 13.5-ton chunk of metal could become a British icon? If Big Ben had a dating profile, it would read: “Likes long chimes on the beach and keeping it real every hour on the hour.”
Speaking of icons, let’s slide on over to birthdays, because we’ve got a special one. Happy birthday to Colin Farrell, born on this very day in 1976. That means today he turns 49, which is basically 25 with more wisdom, stronger coffee, and an ever-growing collection of completely unnecessary throw pillows. Colin is the Irish actor whose eyebrows alone could win an Oscar for Best Dramatic Performance. From brooding in Bruges to waddling around Gotham City as the Penguin, the man has more range than a high-end Wi-Fi router. Plus, he once adopted a homeless man, helped him get treatment, and even attended his funeral years later. Hollywood heartthrob on-screen, actual decent human off-screen.
Now, don't worry if today isn't your birthday. There’s still something in it for you. For example, this is also World No Tobacco Day. A great reminder that your lungs are fans of fresh air, not smoke signals. If your lungs could talk, they’d probably whisper, "Please, Karen, more hiking, less huffing."
So as we wrap up this May 31st love letter to trivia, remember: today is one of those oddly glorious days where a bell rang, a star was born, and if you listen closely, your toaster might just be whispering "Happy No Tobacco Day" as it launches your breakfast into the stratosphere.
Until next time, stay curious, stay kind, and if by chance you share a birthday with Colin Farrell, go ahead and claim you're a natural-born heartthrob. No one can fact-check confidence.
