Go to Wikipedia and look up your birth day (excluding the year). List three neat facts, two births and two deaths (yes i changed it, why not be morbid), in your journal, include the year.

Mine for those that don't know November 28th (88)

Facts:

1943 - World War II: Tehran Conference - US President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Soviet leader Joseph Stalin meet in Tehran to discuss war strategy.
1969 - The Rolling Stones release the album Let It Bleed.
1990 - Margaret Thatcher formally tenders her resignation to The Queen and leaves Downing Street for the last time. John Major is elected her successor.

Births:
1793 - Carl Jonas Love Almqvist, Swedish romantic poet (included not for his contribution to the world, but because of his name)
1820 - Friedrich Engels, German philosopher

Deaths:
1935 - Erich von Hornbostel, Austrian musicologist (yet again, the name)
1962 - Queen Mother Wilhelmina of the Netherlands (seriously Wilhelmina)

Well many of the people listed above may not have contributed great deals to the world but they do have hilarious names.
