Go to wikipedia and put in your birth date. Don't put in the year. Post in your LJ with three neat facts, two births, and two deaths! GO!
March 15
(I don't really count this as a neat fact since pretty much everyone knows it)
44 BC - Julius Caesar, Dictator of the Roman Republic, is stabbed to death by Marcus Junius Brutus, Decimus Junius Brutus and several other Roman senators on the Ides of March. (DUH!)
1. 1956 - The Broadway musical My Fair Lady opens in New York City.
2. 1991 - Germany formally regains complete independence after the four post-World War II occupying powers (France, the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union) relinquish all remaining rights. <=========Really interesting fact, I was there in West Germany with my family the day the Berlin wall came down!
3. 2004 - Announcement of the discovery of 90377 Sedna, the farthest natural object in the Solar system so far observed.
Births:
1. 1638 - Shunzhi Emperor of China
2. 1930 - Zhores Ivanovich Alferov, Russian physicist, Nobel Prize laureate
Deaths:
1. 493 - Odoacer, King of Italy (murdered) (b. 435)
2. 2006 - George Rallis, former Greek Prime Minister, 1980-1981 dies at his home. (b. 1918)
and I am throwing in two random fictional events:
44 BC - Deaths of Xena and Gabrielle by Crucifixion
3019 T.A. - Battle of the Pelennor Fields (The Lord of the Rings)
