Let’s talk about Today’s Highlights.

It’s a daily updated feature from Answers.com that offers a spotlight, featured question, today’s birthdays, today in history and more, right from the homepage. You could say it’s like taking your daily dose of Vitamin T: ‘t’ for trivia and ‘vitamin’ because it’s good for you.

You could also take the trivia you learn and finally have something to contribute to the water cooler conversations going on right outside your cubicle. Don’t be shy; just lean over there and sing ‘happy birthday’ to Elton John, Sarah Jessica Parker and Aretha Franklin or mention that today, in 1328, Robert the Bruce became king of the not-yet-independent Scotland.

Now let’s talk specifically about today’s highlight.

First of all, I wrote the Spotlight, so I can’t see a reason why you wouldn’t fall madly in love with it right when you start reading.

Secondly, it covers the topic of wikis, which we discuss here a lot (being WikiAnswers gurus and all). I’ll be honest, when I first toyed around with the whole wiki thing, I was confused and a little skeptical; after all, why should I write something if it can be edited by anyone later on?

But once I got into it, it made a lot of sense. I know a little bit about a topic, Timmy knows a little something more, Samantha adds some personal experience… Collaboration is for the greater good, and like the Spider-man movies have taught me, the greater good is worth fighting for.

Thank you Answers.com Editorial Team, for serving fresh Today’s Highlights every single day; thank you Ward Cunningham, for developing wiki technology; thank you WikiAnswers, for having the courage to fight the good fight.

There are no stupid answers, which is why I feel comfortable answering this question:

How old is she today?

She is 37-years-old! She is also Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Connelly, in case you weren’t sure. It says so in Today’s Highlights, which are updated everyday on the Answers.com homepage.

Another famous birthday for today includes the lovable, huggable Bob Barker, former host of The Price is Right, who turns 84 today.

Then there are these two dead guys whose birthdays were today also… Hell, let’s list them; they may be dead but their legacies live on in the form of art: Gustave Flaubert, French author of Madame Bovary and Edvard Munch, Norwegian artist who painted The Scream.

Happy birthday, famous people, some of whom are already dead! And happy birthday to non-famous people, too!
