I'm back!

Go to Wikipedia. In the Search box, type your birth month and day (but not year). List three events that happened on your birthday. List two important birthdays and one interesting death.

Events:

1. 1692 - Last people hanged for witchcraft in the United States.
2. 1951 - The first live sporting event seen coast-to-coast in the United States, a college football game between Duke and the University of Pittsburgh, is televised on NBC.
3. 1994 - Friends premieres on NBC.
(Incidentally, Windows 98 was also codenamed Memphis. This obviously means I'm due to inherit the Gates fortune.)

1. 1791 - Michael Faraday, English scientist (d. 1867)
2. 1927 - Tommy Lasorda, baseball manager

Death:

1. 1774 - Pope Clement XIV (b. 1705)
