What A Difference A Day Makes

I stole this from Not Soccer Mom...

Here's what you do:

1. Go to Wikipedia.
2. In the Search box, type your birth month and day (but not year).

Then, either in the comments or on your blog:

3. List three events that happened on your birthday.
4. List two important birthdays and one interesting death.
5. List one holiday or observance (if any).
6. Tell everyone you know to do it.

Let us know in comments if you've left it on your blog so we can all go check it out!

Here's mine: June 9

Three events that happened on my birthday:
1)1909 - Alice Huyler Ramsey, a 22-year-old housewife and mother from Hackensack, New Jersey, became the first woman to drive across the United States. With three female companions, none of whom could drive a car, for fifty-nine days she drove a Maxwell automobile the 3,800 miles from Manhattan, New York to San Francisco, California.
2)1934 - Donald Duck debuts in The Wise Little Hen.
3)1983 - Margaret Thatcher wins a second term by a landslide in the British General Election with a majority of 144 for her Conservative Party. Tony Blair is elected for the first time to Parliament.

Two important birthdays:
1)1915 - Les Paul, influential American guitarist
2)1963 - Johnny Depp, American actor


One Death:
1870 - Charles Dickens, English author (b. 1812)

Holiday observance:
Roman Empire paganism - third day of the Vestalia in honor of the goddess Vesta

Okay everyone! If you want to do this, go right ahead!
