Somebody's special day

Today is somebody's special day ...

Yep, today is a special day for 49ers fans everywhere!

Today marks the 19th anniversary of Super Bowl XXIII, the classic game in which Joe Montana led the San Francisco 49ers 92 yards in the waning minutes before throwing a pass directly through the hearts and the defense of the Cincinnati Bengals. The touchdown-scoring throw ended up in the hands of receiver John Taylor and put the 49ers up 20-16 with just 34 seconds left in the game. The Bengals failed to put together a last-ditch miracle drive of their own, thus falling short of their mission to avenge their previous defeat to those same 49ers just IV years earlier in Super Bowl XIX.

Oh, and it's also Alaska Jen's birthday.

Congratulations '9ers fans, and happy birthday, Alaska Jen.
