Three, Two, One....Birth Date!

Apr 10, 2006 10:28

Borrowed from Misskitty2 who borrowd it from rivkah_rut :

Go to http://en.wikipedia.org and look up your birthday (excluding the year). List three neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year.

Facts/Events:

2005 - The California Legislature becomes the first legislative body in the United States to legalize same-sex marriage without a pre-emptive judicial order to do so.

1936 - The last surviving member of the thylacine species, Benjamin, dies alone in her cage at the Hobart Zoo in Tasmania. (Oddly enough actually had a guy call our office thinking he found one near his house.)

1870 - Louisa Ann Swain of Laramie, Wyoming becomes the first woman in the United States to cast a vote legally after 1807.

Two Births:

1879 - Max Schreck, German actor

1943 - Roger Waters, bassist, songwriter, and previous leader of Pink Floyd

One Death

2003 - Harry Goz, American actor (b. 1932) (The voice of Captain Murphy on Sealab 2021)

An added depressing tidbit that I stumbled across regarding my date of birth: It's National Stillbirth Remembrance Day in 39 states of the U.S.
