I happened to see one of these events on my calender when I checked to see which day of the week my birthday fell on. Then I thought of this awesome idea. Of course all I had to do was check out the date on Wikipedia. Everything from here is listed on Wikipedia. I only used what I thought was cool or important, and I only listed people that I knew who they were. So here is what I learned about my Birth Day! It's exciting! Also I am going to try and link all the info back to Wiki. Thanks for stopping by.
