Ganked from a couple different people...

Go to Wikipedia and look up your birth day (excluding the year). List three neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year.

Neat Facts
- 1944 ~ Anne Frank is deported from Auschwitz to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
- 1966 ~ The Zodiac Killer kills his first victim, 18-year old Cheri Jo Bates, in Riverside, California.
- 1999 ~ Miss Saigon closes in London after 4264 performances.

Births
- 1735 ~ John Adams, American revolutionary leader and President of the United States (d. 1826)
- 1885 ~ Ezra Pound, American poet (d. 1972)

Deaths
- 1654 ~ Emperor Go-Komyo of Japan (b. 1633)

There really wasn't a lot of interesting stuff in terms of births and deaths. I was trying to pick people I'd heard of, basically. And there weren't many ^^;; Oh well. Killed ten minutes. And then I got bored, so I plugged Little Sister's birthday in...

Neat Facts
- 1493 ~ Christopher Columbus first sights the island of Dominica in the Caribbean Sea.
- 1955 ~ The musical film Guys and Dolls, starring Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra, debuts.
- 1975 ~ Television game show The Price Is Right expands from thirty minutes, to one hour permanently.

Births
- 1794 ~ William Cullen Bryant, American poet and journalist (d. 1878)
- 1952 ~ Roseanne Barr, American actress and comedienne

Deaths
- 1990 ~ Mary Martin, American actress (b. 1913)

...okay, so November 3 is officially more interesting than October 30 (lots of presidential elections!). And yes, we're two years and five days apart. Had the same due date, even--November 9. I asked Mom how she and Dad managed to pull that one off, and she replied, "Nine months after Valentine's Day. You do the math."

...I ♥ my mother so very, very much ^__^ Cheers!
