Birth Date Stats

Got this from Sherri:

This is what you do:

1. Go to Wikipedia and type in your birthday.
2. Find 3 events that happened on that day.
3. Find 2 other people who were born that day.
4. Find 1 holiday that is celebrated on that day.

I'm going to add a bit.
5. Find 2 other people who died on that day.

Because I'm morbid like that. <---- Yay, Sherri!
