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.
Facts:
1859 - Charles Darwin publishes the Origin of Species. (Hot damn!)
1969 - Apollo program: The Apollo 12 command module splashes down safely in the Pacific Ocean, ending the second manned mission to the Moon.
1974 - Donald Johanson and Tom Gray discover the 40% complete Australopithecus afarensis skeleton, nicknamed Lucy, in the Awash Valley of Ethiopia's Afar Depression.
Births:
1729 - Alexander Suvorov, Russian general (never lost a battle!)
1946 - Ted Bundy, American serial killer
Death:
1807 - Joseph Brant, Mohawk leader (one of my ancestors, so I had to put him in)
My birthday is a great time for religious reformers to die, apparently. Leaders in general seem to be born or die on November 24th... and Ted Bundy. And Lee Harvey Oswald was shot, as well.
