Birthday Meme
Go to Wikipedia, enter in your birthdate (sans year), post three events, two births and one death.
But before we get into the meme, i just have to share the most interesting thing about my birth date: There was a year it didn't exist!!!
1582 - Due to the implementation of the Gregorian calendar this day does not exist in this year in Italy, Poland, Portugal and Spain.
Now on with the events:
1793 - French Revolution: Christianity is disestablished in France.
1945 - Hollywood Black Friday: A six month strike by Hollywood set decorators turns into into a bloody riot at the gates of Warner Brothers' studios.
1962 - The Beatles release their first hit, "Love Me Do," in Britain.
Births:
But, before we get to specifics, i just thought i'd share that not one, but TWO mistresses to French Kings were born on this day. And, i share an exact birthdate (10/5/1983) with... Nicky Hilton! NOOOOO! ;D
1952 - Clive Barker, English writer
1975 - Kate Winslet, English actress
Death:
2004 - Rodney Dangerfield, American comedian (b. 1921)
(although for a runner-up it's 877 - Charles the Bald (b. 823) because the poor guy is known in history as The Bald!)
