I blame oo_fifi_oo...

Go to Wikipedia and look up your birthday (excluding the year). List three neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year.

I was born 19th of July 1977... Here goes:

3 facts:
  • 64 - Great Fire of Rome: a fire begins to burn in the merchant area of Rome and soon burns completely out of control. According to a popular, but untrue legend, Nero fiddled as the city burned.
  • 1333 - Wars of Scottish Independence: Battle of Halidon Hill - The English win a decisive victory over the Scots.
  • 1553 - Lady Jane Grey is replaced by Mary I of England as Queen of England after only nine days of reign.

2 births:
  • 1883 - Max Fleischer, Austrian-American animator and producer (d. 1972)
  • 1976 - Benedict Cumberbatch, English actor

1 death:
  • 1543 - Mary Boleyn, English sister of Anne Boleyn (b. c. 1499)
