International Anti-Corruption Day 2010

Today is the 343rd day of the year. There are 22 days remaining until the end of the year (16 days till Christmas). If your birthday is today, you are a Sagittarius.

Since 2003, the United Nations (UN) has designated December 9th as a day to raise public awareness of corruption and what people can do to fight it.

December 9th is also National Pastry Day, so enjoy your favorite type.

On December 9, 1792, the body of Henry Laurens was the first to be formally cremated in America, near Charlestown, South Carolina.

Clarence Birdseye, a founder of General Foods Corporation who developed a way to deep freeze foods, was born on this day 124 years ago (1886).  Comedian Redd Fox would have been 88 years old today (born December 9, 1922).
