You say it's your Birthday...
I was given this idea by fellow tribemate http://www.wildermetaforce.com/ but thought it was pretty interesting..
Wikipedia/Birthday Game
1. Go to Wikipedia.
2. In the Search box, type your birth month and day (but not year).
3. Choose three events that happened on your birthday.
4. Choose two important birthdays and one interesting death.
5. Post it.
My birthday is on the 30th of October.
Events:
1922 - Benito Mussolini was made Prime Minister of Italy
1944 - Anne Frank is deported from Auschwitz to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
1950 - Pope Pius XII witnesses the "Miracle of the Sun" while at the Vatican"[1]
ok three more because they are so interesting...
1961 - Nuclear testing: The Soviet Union detonates the hydrogen bomb Tsar Bomba over Novaya Zemlya; at 58 megatons of yield, it is still the largest nuclear device ever detonated. Nikita Kruschev announces that the scientists had planned to make it 100 megatons, but had reduced the yield so as to avoid breaking all the windows in Moscow.
1966 - The Zodiac Killer kills his first victim, 18-year old Cheri Jo Bates, in Riverside, California.
1974 - "The Rumble in the Jungle": Muhammad Ali knocks out George Foreman in Kinshasa, Zaire to regain the World Heavyweight Boxing championship.
Birthdays:
