For some unknown reason, it was changed yesterday??

That's what the history says, but you know as well as me, Anton, that H. could have changed this as well like a few years ago... Sometimes, last edit shows from yesterday... Or shows that YOU did it although you changed nothing. We know about that glitch for some time now...

Maybe we should revert back to version numero uno where there was no glitches

1967 is Riddick Bowe's birth year.

1968 is how many times he's opened his fridge door in the last 24 hours.

I came across this report, where Bowe himself claims he's born in 1968:

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/14/sports/14bowe.html

That does not automatically make it true of course.

My friend just got off the phone with Bowe saying that he bet me that he was born in 1967. Bowe stated that you lost the bet, I was born in 1968.

As wouter already stated, that does not automatically make it true... What about an OFFICIAL source, like passport/ID copy, birth register certificate etc.?

[hhascup]

I agree! My friend was one of his agents, so I don't know why Bowe would lie to him, But who knows!

Here's what I do know:

He graduated High School in June of 1986
