Meme:

Go to Wikipedia and type in your birthdate (no year). Then choose 3 facts, 2 births, and 1 death and post them in your LJ.

Hechos:

1889 - President Grover Cleveland signs a bill admitting North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana and Washington as U.S. states.

1980 - The United States ice hockey team defeats the Soviet Union team at the 1980 Winter Olympic Games in an upset dubbed the "Miracle on Ice".

1997 - In Roslin, Scotland, scientists announce that an adult sheep named Dolly had been successfully cloned

Nacimientos:

1892 - Edna St. Vincent Millay, American writer   (Heeeeeee.)

1925 - Edward Gorey, American illustrator   (F'ing Sweet!)

I also share my date of birth with George Washington (duh), Schopenhauer (philosophilicious), Dr. J (cool), Ted Kennedy (not so cool), the guy who directed Silence of the Lambs (Demme), Bill Frist (WTF?), the Crocodile Hunter (no comment), and Drew Barrymore (I think she is the anti-me).

Muerte:

1984- Jessamyn West, American writer 
       Had no idea who this was, just chose her because she died the day I was born. She was apparently a Quaker who wrote a book that became a movie with Gary Cooper. It could've been worse.

coincidence, meme, procrastination
