Gacked from norwegianblue47 :
Go to Wikipedia and look up your birth day (excluding the year).List three neat facts, two births and two deaths in your journal, including the year.
Facts:
1605 - Gunpowder Plot: A plot led by Robert Catesby to blow up the English Houses of Parliament is thwarted when Sir Thomas Knyvet, a justice of the peace, finds Guy Fawkes in a cellar below the Parliament building. Fawkes was later hanged, drawn and quartered for his role in the conspiracy.
1872 - Women's suffrage: In defiance of the law, suffragist Susan B. Anthony votes for the first time, and is later fined $100.
1935 - Parker Brothers releases the board game Monopoly.
Births
1857 - Ida Tarbell, American journalist (d. 1944)
1913 - Vivien Leigh, English actress (d. 1967)
Deaths
1960 - Mack Sennett, Canadian producer and director (b. 1880)
1989 - Vladimir Horowitz, Russian pianist (b. 1903)
The results are up from the W.O.M.B.A.T. test on Rowling's site. I got an O! And I didn't even look at the Lexicon. I bet nobody failed, though. It seemed to me that there could be more than one right answer on some of them.
