Hurray, its Friday. My favorite day of the week. No big plans for the weekend. Gotta do something to keep Laura on her toes. Mebbe we'll go to the Asheville.
And because I rarely have any real content.
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.
Neato Events:
1799 - Napoleon Bonaparte leads the Coup d'état of 18 Brumaire ending the unwieldy Directory government, and becoming one of its three Consuls.
1923 - In Munich, Germany, police and government troops crush the Beer Hall Putsch in Bavaria. The failed coup is the work of the Nazis.
1989 - Cold War: Communist-controlled East Germany opens checkpoints in the Berlin Wall allowing its citizens to freely travel to West Germany.
Births:
1918 - Spiro Agnew, Vice President of the United States (d. 1996)
1970 - Chris Jericho, American professional wrestler, actor and musician
Deaths:
1888 - Mary Jane Kelly, Victim of the infamous Whitechapel serial killer known as Jack the Ripper (b. 1863)
P.S. The M's are in first place. How odd.
