A mix up that gets the living one to tweet you cake day celebrations is the best of both worlds. Now if Marie Curie tweets you birthday wishes, that’s both more awesome and way more worrisome.

Honestly i think this is the best mistake ever, i would be psyched to have Marie Curie on my bday cake. Talk about a legend.
Keep the radium away from the baked goods tho.

it worked out, though – and props to Mariah Carey for making someone’s day over the mix-up.

Great story - thanks.
Just one quibble: Marie Skłodowska Curie was born Polish and became French by marriage. She still self-identified as Polish, even naming ‘Polonium’ after the country.

I wonder, does Siobhan have an Irish accent? Belfast vowels could quite easily cause such a confusion.

Belfast Vowels should be a vocal ensemble, or a poetry slam, or something.

Just don’t confuse them with Belfast Bowels, the other local ensemble, or something.
