I was inspired by a few blogland folks to do this meme. I saw it here and there, and I thought, what the heck?

Go over to wikipedia and type in your birthdate minus the year. Then, list three interesting events, three people who were born and three people who died on that day. Let me tell you, it was *not* easy to narrow it down to THREE! So many cool things happened. And also, so many cool people who were born (many of them actors, revolutionaries or Nobel Prize winners - that's saying something for us Aquarians, huh?) Go and check out the full list.
