Houdini turns 140

Today is Houdini's 140th birthday. The great escape artist was born on March 24, 1874 in Budapest, Hungary to Mayer Samuel and Cecilia Steiner Weiss. As I do each year, below are a collection of birthday greetings from around the web and world (which I will update throughout the day, so send me your link if you have one).

Today everyone is wild about Harry!
