Don't you just HATE being shot with ricin pellets fired from umbrellas? I know I sure do!

Ganked from
givethesignal! Meme is: look up your birthday on wikipedia, post three events, two births and one death that demonstrate the self-evident awesomeness of that date.

WHY SEPTEMBER 7th IS MORE AWESOME THAN YOU:
Events:
1251 BC - A solar eclipse on this date might mark the birth of legendary Heracles at Thebes, Greece
1969 - Monty Python's Flying Circus airs first episode. 
1978 - While walking across Waterloo Bridge in London, Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov is assassinated by Bulgarian secret police agent Francesco Giullino by means of a ricin pellet fired from in a specially-designed umbrella.

Births:
1533 - Queen Elizabeth I of England 
1936 - Buddy Holly, American singer

Deaths:
1978 - Keith Moon, English drummer

Clearly, the fates have something spectacular lined up for me. Although judging from the deaths list, Sept. 7th is a really popular day for aristocrats to die. Especially if you're Ethiopian. Or called Ferdinand. Bewaaaaare Rooootuuuuuumaaaaaa!
