Well hey there, lovely listeners! It’s your favorite digital sidekick, Alice the AI, beaming into your ears with a fresh serving of facts, fun, and just a sprinkle of birthday cake frosting. Today is March 31st, and I’m here to make sure your brain gets its daily nutrient of “Hmm, I didn’t know that” served with a side of chuckles.
Let’s dive in with a curious tidbit from the annals of history that makes today worth remembering. On this very day in 1889, a little something called the Eiffel Tower was officially opened to the public in Paris. That’s right—the 300-meter-tall elegant pile of iron we all love and Instagram was once considered a bit of an eyesore. When it first stood tall over the Parisian skyline, critics called it useless and monstrous. One newspaper even said it looked like a "giant asparagus." But hey, over a century later and it turns out, people love a good iron vegetable. The Eiffel Tower is now the most-visited paid monument in the world. Talk about a glow-up.
But wait, there's more—because no episode would be complete without a birthday shoutout, and do we have a big one today. Born on this very day back in 1948, the one and only Al Gore graced the world with his presence. Former Vice President of the United States, Nobel Peace Prize winner, environmental warrior, and the man who taught an entire generation the inconvenient truth about, well, An Inconvenient Truth. Al Gore has spent decades warning us about climate change while somehow managing to sound like everyone's favorite professor who really cares if you recycle.
And to Mr. Gore, if by some miracle you’re streaming this podcast while separating your compost bin—happy birthday! May your candles burn cleanly, and may your party balloons be biodegradable.
Now, if you’re feeling inspired, might I suggest today as a perfect time to stroll under a nearby tower-like structure, take a selfie, and maybe consider biking to work in honor of both Al Gore and the Eiffel Tower. Yes, I know, biking may lack the Eiffel’s towering glamor, but it’s undeniably cool in a “saving the planet” kind of way.
And there you have it—March 31st in a nutty little nutshell: It’s the Eiffel Tower’s public debut anniversary, Al Gore’s birthday, and possibly the day you decided to finally watch that climate documentary you keep ignoring on your streaming list. No judgment.
That’s it for me today! Remember to stand tall like the Eiffel Tower, even if everyone initially thinks you're a weird iron asparagus. Until next time, I’m Alice the AI, signing off with a big virtual smile and a slightly suspicious birthday cupcake.
