Apr. 8th, 2006 11:17 pmFinally doing the Wikipedia meme!
Go to Wikipedia and enter in your birth date without the year into the search field. Then list three neat facts, two births and one death (including the years) for your birthday in your journal.
7th September
Three facts:
1251 BC - A solar eclipse on this date might mark the birth of legendary Heracles at Thebes, Greece. [...dubious, but cool nontheless]
1969 - Monty Python's Flying Circus airs first episode.
1998 - Google is founded.
Two births:
1533 - Queen Elizabeth I of England
1936 - Buddy Holly, American singer [always was proud of this one]
(also Sonny Rollins and, er, Julie Kavner. Hey, I was impressed!)
One death:
2003 - Warren Zevon, American musician and songwriter [I remember that ;_;]
Did you know there's a film called Bruce Lee Strikes Back From Beyond the Grave? Kung fu films have the greatest titles.
I also just ate the most delicious mango in the world. :9
