Didn't get a chance to game today. So instead, a meme!

Go to Wikipedia and look up your birthday (excluding the year). List three neat facts, two births, and one death in your journal, including the year.

(Birthday's January 16, for those interested.)

Events
27 BC - Octavian Caesar given the title Augustus by the Roman Senate.
1605 - The first edition of El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha (Book One of Don Quixote) by Miguel de Cervantes was published in Madrid.
1919 - Temperance movement: The 18th Amendment, authorizing Prohibition, is passed by the Congress of the United States, going into effect one year later.

Births
1901 - Fulgencio Batista, Cuban leader (d. 1973) (Better known as "that guy that Fidel Castro overthrew.")
1947 - Laura Schlessinger, American radio talk show host (Yes, I share my birthday with Dr. Laura. *cries*)
