Nicked from three quarters of my flist :)

Go to Wikipedia and look up your birth day (excluding the year).
List three neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year.


Date: 10th February

1863 - The world-famous dwarfs General Tom Thumb and Lavinia Warren get married in New York City.
1920 - Jozef Haller de Hallenburg performs symbolic engagement of Poland with the sea, celebrating restitution of Polish access to open sea.

Births (mostly poets, authors or actors. Intriguing.)

1890 - Boris Pasternak, Russian writer, Nobel Prize laureate (declined) (d. 1960)
1906 - Lon Chaney Jr., American actor (d. 1973)

Death (some interesting ones there but I had to pick this one)

Mood:: 'amused' amused
