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.

March 11:

Okay, my birthday has mostly depressing things. This does not suprise me.

1864 - The Great Sheffield Flood: The largest man-made disaster ever to befall England kills over 250 people in Sheffield.
1966 - Henry "Dickie" Marrow is murdered in a violent racially-motivated crime in Oxford, N.C..
2004 - Simultaneous explosions on rush hour trains in Madrid kill 191 people.

1952 - Douglas Adams, English writer (d. 2001) - if only he'd been born in 1942 :)
1971 - Johnny Knoxville, American television personality - weep for humanity.

1847 - Johnny Appleseed, American pioneer agronomist (b. 1774) - so, on my birthday, I should eat apple things!

Cool! Both of my grandmothers had birthdays in March too - Dad's mom was March 1st and Mom's mom was the 21st - so we had 1, 11, and 21 - and an aunt on the 12th :) Dad's mom was born in 1900 - very easy to remember her age ::snerk::
