But all the cool kids are doing it!
So, since I'm being all spammity, spammity this evening, I decided to take part in the Wikipedia Birthday meme.
Go to Wikipedia, enter in your birthdate (sans year), post three events, two births and one death.
Events
1328 - Wars of Scottish Independence end: Treaty of Edinburgh-Northampton - England recognises Scotland as an independent nation.
1707 - The Act of Union joins England, and Scotland to form the Kingdom of Great Britain. You have to admire the irony of that, don't you?
1978 - The first e-mail spam of history was sent by a DEC marketing representative to every ARPANET address on the west coast of the United States.
Births
1830 - Mother Jones, American labor activist (d. 1930)
1852 - Calamity Jane, American Wild West performer (d. 1903)
Deaths
1904 - Antonín Dvořák, Czech composer (b. 1841) Apparently this was a very bad day for composers, since Johann Ludwig Bach and Aram Khachaturian both bought it on that day as well, in 1731 and 1978 respectively.
You know, my birthday's in a couple of weeks. So, if anyone felt the urge to write me birthday porn, I wouldn't complain.
Do you think that was subtle enough? You can blame it on the second cosmo. :-D
