  Mark Twain was born November 30, 1835 and died on April 21, 1910.  He was born and died when Haley's comet came through.  "I came in with Haley's Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don't go out with Haley's Comet. The Almighty has said, no doubt: 'Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together.'" -Mark Twain  [|More Information Here]
