I here wish to say my good friend Anthony,
***Happy Birthday***
I wish you on this 21st of November 2007 a very joyful, happy and healthy day. And I wish for you the very best for every day that will follow till it never ends.
Aslo what happened on the 21st November:
French inventor Jean François Pilâtre de Rozier and François Laurent, the Marquis d' Arlandes, make the first manned hot-air balloon flight, traveling five miles over Paris in 25 minutes. Their cloth balloon was crafted by French papermaking brothers Jacques Étienne and Joseph Michel Montgolfier, who believed that smoke, not hot air, caused balloons to rise. Fueling the balloon's burner with a combination of damp straw and rags, Pilâtre and d'Arlandes took off from the Chateau de la Muette and ascended as high as 3,000 feet before returning safely to earth. The previous September, the Montgolfiers sent a sheep, a rooster, and a duck aloft in one of their balloons in a prelude to the first untethered manned flight. The barnyard animals stayed afloat for eight minutes and landed safely two miles from the launch site.
