Got this idea from
IvoryFrog's Blog courtesy of
blogmad dot net and their blogsurf feature. Anyway, it goes like this:
Here's what to do...
Go to Wikipedia and do a search for your birthday (day and month only, exclude the year).
Post three facts, two births and one death on your blog including the years.
(Thanks Ivoryfrog).
Here are mine for July 3rd:
Events
1863 - U.S. Civil War: The final and bloodiest day of the Battle of Gettysburg.
1928 - First Color television broadcast in London.
1964 - President Lyndon B. Johnson signs the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits segregation in public places.
Births
1962 - Tom Cruise, actor and lunatic
1947 - Dave Barry, writer
Deaths
1971 - Jim Morrison (The Doors)
1969 - Brian Jones (The Rolling Stones)
*I listed both because I knew of Morrison but I didn't know Jones was on the same day two years earlier.
