This was stolen from
samldanach. My birthday, Dec 8th.
Go over to Wikipedia and enter your birth date (month/day) and then pick 3 events, 2 births and 1 holiday that occurred on the day of your birthday.
3 events:
1854 - Pope Pius IX proclaims the dogma of Immaculate Conception, which holds that the Virgin Mary was born free of original sin.
1941, After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, we declare war on Japan.
1980. Mark David Chapman shoots and kills John Lennon in front of the Dakota apartment building. I remember this vividly.
2 "births":
1542 - Mary Queen of Scots
1943. Jim Morrison of the Doors.
An interesting note. Two actors from the tv show Lost (one of my favs) both have the same birthday as I. Ian Somerhalder (Boone), and Dominic Monaghan (Charlie). Even more strange, both have been killed.
1 holiday:
December 8 marks the conception of the Virgin Mary in many Christian denominations and the enlightenment of Buddha in most Buddhist sects. This is funny considering my not so positive views on christianity sometimes. :)
