I don't do a lot of memes, but I found this at http://crankyprof.blogspot.com.
1. Go to Wikipedia and put in your birthday, without the year, in the search bar.
2. List on your blog 3 events, 2 births, 1 death and 1 holiday that happens(ed) on your birthday.
3. Then tag 5 more friends to do it!
I knew some of the things that had happened on my birthday, but others were a surprise. Like the cranky prof, I'm not tagging anyone, but if you do it, leave me a note in the comments so I can see yours. Enjoy!
