wikipedia meme
Some fun courtesy of dustbury. Search for your birthday (without year) in wikipedia. Using your own definition of "interesting", list 3 each: interesting people born that day, died that day, and events that occurred that day. All assuming the accuracy of Wikipedia's entries in these cases, of course.
People born: Grant Wood, Chuck Yeager, Robbie Williams (plus a slew of actors and actresses - Kim Novak, Carol Lynley, George Segal, Oliver Reed, Stockard Channing, David Naughton. . .)
People died: Catherine Howard (unfortunate 5th wife of Henry VIII), Benvenuto Cellini, Richard Wagner, Josephine Tey, David Janssen (oops, that's 5)
Interesting events: Boston Latin School is founded (1635), Bruno Hauptmann found guilty of kidnapping the Lindberghs' baby (1935), Queen Elizabeth knights Rudy Guiliani (2002)
Go for it yourself.
