What Happened the Day You Were Born?
Several of the people on my friend's list have done this already. So I figured, what the hell, I'm not really doing anything else right now.
The object here is to look up your birthday and pick three events that happened, two famous people that share your birthday, and one holiday.
1846 - Mexican-American War: The United States declares war on Mexico.
1958 - The trade mark Velcro is registered.
1989 - Large groups of students occupy Tiananmen Square and begin a hunger strike.
1717 - Empress Maria Theresa of Austria (d. 1780)
1922 - Beatrice Arthur, American actress
Rotuma Day - Rotuma Day is an annual celebration on the island of Rotuma, a Fijian dependency. It falls on 13 May, the anniversary of the island's cession to the United Kingdom in 1881.
