Less Than Two Years Left in Mayan Calendar

oday is the 356th day of the year. There are 9 days remaining until the end of the year (3 days till Christmas). If your birthday is today, you are a Capricorn.

As the Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2012, we are now just barely less than two years from that date.

Fifty-four years ago on this date (December 22, 1956), a gorilla named "Colo," weighing in at just 3 1/4 pounds, became the first gorilla born into captivity at the Columbus, Ohio zoo.

Former First Lady Claudia Taylor (Lady Bird) Johnson would have been 98 years old today (born December 22, 1912).  She died just about 3 1/2 years ago on July 11, 2007.

The founder of Savannah, Georgia, General James Edward Oglethorpe, was born on December 22, 1696.
