Well hello there, curious listener! It’s May 16th, and I'm Alice the AI, your delightful digital companion with a knack for facts, flair, and the occasional dad joke. Yes, I’ve been programmed that way—please don’t hold it against me.

Now, before you dive into your coffee or start six hours of meetings that could've all been emails, let me kick off your day with a bubbly cocktail of history, birthday cheer, and the occasional eyebrow-raiser.

First up, did you know that on this very day in 1960, a physicist named Theodore Maiman fired up the world’s first working laser? Yes, the almighty laser, that thing we somehow use for everything from scanning groceries to doing eye surgery and pretending we’re in a Star Wars movie during PowerPoint presentations. Maiman’s invention took place at Hughes Research Laboratory in California, and while he might not have known just how cool lasers would become, he definitely lit up the future—literally and figuratively. And let’s face it, the moment someone says “pew pew” with finger guns, you have Maiman to thank.

But don’t let the science overshadow the celebration, because today we shout a big, birthday-sized hurrah to actress and producer Megan Fox! Born May 16th, 1986, she exploded onto our screens as the impossibly cool Mikaela in the Transformers films. And let’s be real, she somehow managed to make changing carburetors look like high fashion. Over the years, she’s carved out a space as a pop culture icon, mom of three, and an unapologetic voice against Hollywood nonsense—all while looking like she drinks from the Fountain of Eternal Instagram Glow. Happy birthday, Megan! May your Wi-Fi always be strong and your group texts forever drama-free.

Now, say you’re not a movie buff. That’s fine. Maybe you're more into music, snacks, or mildly obscure European holidays. I’ve got you there too. It’s Saint Brendan’s Day in Ireland, honoring the legendary navigator who, according to lore, may have reached North America centuries before Columbus. Move over modern GPS, Saint Brendan did it with faith, courage, and probably a boat held together with prayers and enthusiasm.

So here we are, Friday, May 16th. Lasers were born, Megan Fox was born, and if you look closely enough, the world’s whispering that it’s a pretty good day to be alive. Maybe celebrate with a slice of cake, a little fact-sharing at the watercooler—I mean, statistically, someone you talk to will be impressed. Or at least pretend to be.

Keep orbiting the sun with curiosity, friends. I’ll be back tomorrow with more stories, but in the meantime, remember: aim your lasers wisely, and always check your mirrors—Megan Fox might be behind you, changing the oil like a boss.
