Here's a meme I've seen in a couple of different versions, in the LJs of apel, krfsm, jukkahoo and natika:
Go to Wikipedia and look up your birth day (excluding the year). List three neat facts, three births, and three deaths in your journal, including the year.
Facts:
1852 - Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin is published.
1916 - Albert Einstein publishes his theory of relativity.
1956 - Tunisia gains independence from France.
(Of course, it was also the day That War started. I wrote about that in my blog at the time. Hmm. My blog was much more interesting three year ago, I notice. How depressing.)
Births:
1828 - Henrik Ibsen, Norwegian writer (d. 1906)
1917 - Dame Vera Lynn, English actress and singer
1958 - Holly Hunter, American actress
Deaths:
1239 - Hermann von Salza, Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights [Never heard of the man, me, but that's a darned nice title]
1874 - Hans Christian Lumbye, Danish composer (b. 1810)
1918 - Lewis A. Grant, American Civil War General (b. 1828)
