Wikibirthday to you.
"Go to Wikipedia and do a search for your birthday (day and month only, exclude the year).
Post three facts, two births and one death on your blog including the years."
3 Facts:
-
1786 - Peter Leopold Joseph of Habsburg-Lorraine, Grand Duke of Tuscany, promulgates a penal reform making his country the first state to abolish the death penalty. November 30 is therefore commemorated by 300 cities around the world as Cities for Life Day.
-
1804 - The Jeffersonian Republican-controlled United States Senate begins an impeachment trial against Federalist-partisan Supreme Court of the United States Justice Samuel Chase. (let's hope this happens to GWB this year)
-
1999 - In Seattle, Washington, United States, protests against the WTO meeting by anti-globalization protesters catch police unprepared and force the cancellation of opening ceremonies.
2 Births:
- 1719 - Augusta of Saxe-Gotha, Princess of Wales (d. 1772)
- (my birthyear was 1964, but this is as close as they had) 1965 - Ben Stiller, American actor and writer
1 Death:
- 1718 - King Charles XII of Sweden (b. 1682)
