Invented the Snopes

Today is William Faulkner's birthday. Yippee! Whoohoo! Happy Birthday to... Oh wait. I suspect he wasn't a 'yippee kind of guy'. However I would not have guessed he was the kind of guy to be a cadet pilot in the R.A.F. in 1918 in Canada. While he is identified as a Southern writer, the gentleman was obviously a man of the world. Plus he won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1949.
