I see that the bagel social is out already, but the fact in the Wikipedia article isn't actually cited to anything... We should probably be careful to make sure the stuff we're tweeting is verifiable.

The k.d. lang fact is also uncited in the Wikipedia article. How about:

Hapy birthday, singer k.d. lang. Did you know she once re-enacted a seven hour heart transplant as a performance-art piece?

The first known mention of the bagel was in 1610 in Kraków, Poland. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagel

Born this day in 1755, Marie Antoinette, who never said of starving French revolutionaries "let them eat cake." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Antoinette
