That meme everyone's doing...
I'm going to steal boomtownrat's version, as I like her idea:
Go to Wikipedia and put in your birth date. Don't put in the year.
Post in your LJ with three neat facts, two three births, and two three deaths! (Why not make it three for each?)
Events:
1969 - Hard rock band Led Zeppelin release their eponymous first album.
1915 - United States House of Representatives rejects proposal to give women the right to vote.
1966 - Batman the TV series debuts on ABC.
Births:
1917 - Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of the TM Movement and the Global Country of World Peace
1954 - Howard Stern, American radio host
And I'm putting three more, since I didn't know about these three and thought they were amusing:
1951 - Rush Limbaugh, American radio personality
1966 - Rob Zombie, American musician, artist, and writer
1970 - Zack de la Rocha, American musician (Rage Against the Machine)
Deaths:
1976 - Agatha Christie, English writer (b. 1890)
2001 - Affirmed, American racehorse (b. 1975)
2003 - Maurice Gibb, British singer, songwriter, and musician (Bee Gees) (b. 1949)
Also:
Fiction:
In 2001: A Space Odyssey, the fictional computer HAL becomes operational on January 12. In the movie by Stanley Kubrick, HAL was "born" in 1992, while in the book by Arthur C. Clarke the same event occurs in 1997.
In the television series The X-Files, the third season episode Syzygy, has two girls, Terri & Magi, both born on January 12, 1979. Strange astrological properties with 3+ celestial bodies in alignment gives them great power which they use to kill off several of their high school classmates on their birthday in 1996.
*sleeeepy*
