Go to Wikipedia and put in your birth date. Don't put in the year. Post in your LJ with three neat/important events, two births, and two deaths!
3 EVENTS (I'm leaving out all of the election results, because it's just not fair to everyone else that I was born on a day that is sometimes Election Day) (Yay JFK):

1939 - In Munich, Adolf Hitler narrowly escapes an assassination attempt while celebrating the 16th anniversary of the Beer Hall Putsch.
1971 - The fourth album of British rock group Led Zeppelin (Led Zeppelin IV) is released, including one of the group's most well known songs, "Stairway to Heaven".
2 BIRTHS:
1836 - Milton Bradley, American lithographer and game manufacturer (d. 1911)
