My Idea Sparked

Earlier today I was sipping coffee thinking, “Hey, my birthday’s October 16th – wonder which celebs got cursed with this Libra sign too?” Grabbed my laptop right there at the kitchen table to start digging.

The Search Begins

First I just typed “October 16 birthdays” into the search bar like a regular person would. Scrolled through dozens of those trashy celebrity sites popin’ up with ads everywhere – super annoying. Cross-checked three different sources whenever a name showed up cause some sites straight-up lie about birth dates.

Kept a sticky note app open to scribble down names that kept appearing:

• Tim Robbins – Shawshank guy!
• John Mayer – Guitar man who dates Taylor Swift
• Suzanne Somers – Old-school actress from Three’s Company

Weird Discoveries

Found out Napoleon’s wife Joséphine was supposedly born October 16 too, but then another website said June 23? Like make up your minds! Dropped her from my list cause ain’t nobody got time for historical debates.

Also noticed lots of musicians – seems like October 16 breeds artsy types. Mayer plays guitar, Robbins acts, even that kid Angus T. Jones from Two and a Half Men was born same day. Totally forgot about him till I saw his name buried in some forum.

Finalizing My List

After an hour of googling and coffee refills, I organized everyone into simple categories:

• Actors: Tim Robbins, Bob Weir (Grateful Dead guy counts!)
• Singers: John Mayer, Wendy Wilson from Wilson Phillips
• Wild Cards: David Ben-Gurion (Israel’s first PM!), Al Jourgensen from Industrial band Ministry

Why This Matters to Me

Honestly surprised how many big names share this random birthday. Makes my own October 16th feel special – maybe Libra charm is real! Though John Mayer’s messy dating life ain’t inspiring… Next year’s birthday party’s gonna have extra bragging rights now.
