OK, resurrection time.
Oh look, it's a meme.
"Go to Wikipedia and look up your birth day (excluding the year). List three neat events, two births and one death in your journal, including the year."
Easy! I have one of the coolest birthdays ever.
Events:
1775 - Two lanterns were hung from the steeple of the Old North Church in Boston, Massachusetts. Paul Revere, William Dawes and Samuel Prescott ride to warn of impending arrests of Samuel Adams and John Hancock and seizure of weapons. Only Prescott finishes the ride.
1906 - An earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 7.8, destroys much of San Francisco, California.
1934 - The first washateria opens in Fort Worth, Texas.
Births (other than my own!):
1480 - Lucrezia Borgia, Florentine ruler and daughter of Pope Alexander VI (d. 1519)
1857 - Clarence Darrow, American attorney (d. 1938)
1882 - Leopold Stokowski, Polish conductor (d. 1977)
1954 - Rick Moranis, Canadian comedian (Whoa, I was born the same *day* as DARK HELMET!)
Deaths:
1955 - Albert Einstein, German-born Jewish physicist, Nobel Prize laureate (b. 1879)
2002 - Thor Heyerdahl, Norwegian explorer (b. 1914)
2003 - Edgar F. ("Ted") Codd, English computer scientist (b. 1923)
(So sue me 'cause I listed 4 births and 3 deaths. They were too cool to pass up.)
