I see that the bagel social is out already, but the fact in the Wikipedia
article isn't actually cited to anything... We should probably be careful
to make sure the stuff we're tweeting is verifiable.

The k.d. lang fact is also uncited in the Wikipedia article. How about:

Hapy birthday, singer k.d. lang. Did you know she once re-enacted a seven
hour heart transplant as a performance-art piece?
