robinhoo 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.
Three neat facts:
1542 - Queen Catherine Howard of England is confined in the Tower of London to be executed three days later for treason (adultery).
This is interesting, as I've always found Henry VIII and his times intriguing.
1863 - The world-famous dwarfs General Tom Thumb and Lavinia Warren get married in New York City. How could I NOT include this one?
1954 - President Dwight Eisenhower warns against United States intervention in Vietnam.
Well...we all know what happened then, I guess.
