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


Three facts:

- 1894 - The first ever motor race is held in France between the cities of Paris and Rouen.

- 1951 - Dezik (Дезик) and Tsygan (Цыган, "Gypsy") are the first dogs to make a sub-orbital flight

- 2011 - Norway is the victim of twin terror attacks, the first being a bomb blast which targeted government buildings in central Oslo, the second being a massacre at a youth camp on the island of Utoya.

(Basically, nothing good ever happened on my birthday, except for dogs in space and french people in cars maybe... )

Two births:

- 1510 - Alessandro de' Medici, Duke of Florence

- 1948 - Otto Waalkes, German comedian and actor

One death:

- 1832 - Napoleon II, French emperor
