Wikimeme

.... stolen from Word Nerd (who stole it from Preppy Girl, so I don't guess I'll get in trouble for it!). Anyway... here are the rules:

1. Go to Wikipedia.
2. In the Search box, type your birth month and day (but not year).
3. List three events that happened on your birthday.
4. List two important birthdays and one interesting death.
5. One holiday or observance (if any).
6. Tag 5 more peoples - if you feel like it.
