Go to Wikipedia and look up your birth day (excluding the year). list three or so neat facts, two births and one or so death in your journal, including the year.

1983 - The world's lowest recorded temperature is achieved in Antarctica at −89.2°C (−129°F).
1984 - In Jackson, Michigan, a factory robot crushes a worker against a safety bar in apparently the first robot-related death in the United States.
2003 - The last Volkswagen old-style Beetle rolls off the assembly line at Puebla, Mexico.
