1.Type in your birthday (minus the year) in the search bar at Wikipedia.org
2.List three interesting facts, two births, and one death that happened on your birthday
And as she did I'll probably list more.
Facts/events:
- Roman Empire – sixth day of the Vestalia in honor of Vesta
- 1942 - Holocaust: Future essayist Anne Frank receives a diary for her thirteenth birthday.
- 1994 - Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman are murdered outside her home in Los Angeles, California. O. J. Simpson is later acquitted of the killings, but is held liable in a civil suit.
(clearly a great day for events)
Births:
- 1519 - Cosimo I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany (d. 1574)
- 1890 - Egon Schiele, Austrian painter and graphic artist (d. 1918)
- 1892 - Djuna Barnes, American author (d. 1982)
Death:
So many people I know nothing about to chose from! Here's a selection:
- 816 - Pope Leo III
- 1565 - Adrianus Turnebus, French classical scholar (b. 1512)
- 1647 - Thomas Farnaby, English grammarian
