Your Day In History

I stumbled across this idea on another web site and thinks its just great.

First go to Wikipedia and enter your birth month and day not the year in the search field.

Then record:

Any events that you felt were important

Any interesting births

Any interesting deaths

And finally a holiday

Events on my day:

1988 - Ben Johnson is stripped of his gold medal in the 100 m sprint at the Seoul Olympics for failing a drug test.




1969 - The Brady Bunch debuts on ABC-TV and would run for five years.




1934 - Steamship RMS Queen Mary is launched.




Births on my day, besides me:

1968 – Jim Caviezel, American actor




1964 - Nicki French, British singer



1956 - Linda Hamilton, American actress




1948 - Olivia Newton-John, British-born Australian singer and actress




Holidays

French Republican Calendar - Cheval (Horse) Day, fifth day in the Month of Vendémiaire
I have no idea what holiday this celebrates other than maybe horses.... but it doesnt sound to exciting to me.
