Another Meme
I saw this meme on another Wendy's blog, so I gotta try it:
Do a Wikipedia search of your birthdate, but leave out the year. List three interesting events, three people who were born, and three people who died on that day.
Here goes==
Events:
1892 - A hidden lake bursts out of a glacier on the side of Mont Blanc, flooding the valley below and killing around 200 villagers and holidaymakers in Saint Gervais.
1933 - Congress passes the first federal minimum wage law in the United States: 33 cents per hour.
2002 - Gay rights: The Superior Court of Ontario orders Ontario to recognize same-sex marriages
Births:
100 BC - Gaius Julius Caesar, Roman soldier and politician
1895 - Oscar Hammerstein II, American lyricist
1948 - Richard Simmons, American fitness trainer
Deaths:
1804 - Alexander Hamilton, first United States Secretary of the Treasury
1996 - John Chancellor, American television journalist (b. 1927)
1996 - Jonathan Melvoin, American musician and keyboardist (Smashing Pumpkins)
Maybe that's enough just to list them. I guess it's safe to say I was born on a day that is never boring...
