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


Deaths:
1460 - Richard, Duke of York, claimant to the English throne (killed in battle) (b. 1411)
1591 - Pope Innocent IX (b. 1519)
1803 - Francis Lewis, signer of the American Declaration of Independence (b. 1713)

Births (OK, so I went a little overboard here):
39 - Roman Emperor Titus (d. 81)
1865 - Rudyard Kipling, British writer, Nobel Prize laureate (d. 1936)
1928 - Bo Diddley, American singer and musician
1935 - Sandy Koufax, baseball player
1942 - Michael Nesmith, American singer and musician (The Monkees)
1945 - Davy Jones, English singer (The Monkees) ***TWO MONKEES!!!!!!!!***
1957 - Matt Lauer, American newscaster
1961 - Sean Hannity, American talk radio host and conservative political commentator ***SQUEE!!!! I Love Sean Hannity!!!***
1975 - Tiger Woods, American golfer

Neat facts (I shall restrain myself):
1460 - Wars of the Roses: The Duke of York is defeated at the Battle of Wakefield. ***Note the tie-in with 'Deaths'***
1922 - The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is formed. ***This is a giant cosmic joke on my conservative behind***
1948 - The play 'Kiss Me, Kate' opens for the first of 1,077 performances. ***I was named for the Shrew! No jokes!***

Your birthdays are way more interesting that mine! No one interesting was born the same date as me.

I have the hugest crush on Sean Hannity.

He is awesome. I have a bigger crush on Shepard Smith, but it's a close thing.
