Go to Wikipedia and type in your Birthday month and day only.
June 21

List 3 Events that Occured on that Day

  1. Godomor, king of the Burgundians, defeats the Franks at the battle of Vezerone. (524) Okay, so no one cares about Godomor or the battle of Vezerone, but look at all the fun words used in this one. Although I did initially think that Godomor sounded like some kind of STD.
  2. Admiral Ludwig von Reuter scuttles the German fleet in Scapa Flow, Orkney. The nine sailors killed were the last casualties of the First World War. (1919) Okay, I thought this one was kind of neat, but once again, I mostly liked the fun words. Ludwig von Reuter, scuttles, Scapa Flow, Orkney. What's not to like? Nothing. Tragic deaths aside.
  3. The World Health Organization declares Europe polio free. (2002) Whatever happened to polio? (Betsy, this one's just for you!)

List 2 Important Birthdays

  1. Erica Durance (1978). I was so excited to find a Smallville actor on the list. Even if Lois isn't one of my favorites.
  2. Prince William of Wales. (1982) These were pretty much the only two famous people on the list. But my favorite name on the list was Vasilis Papakonstantinou, whose name rivals Brazalovich.

List 1 Death

  1. Wilfred "Wop" May (Canadian aviation pioneer) (1952). The best name yet! But seriously, I didn't recognize the names of anyone who died on my birthday. Except for the founder of Stanford, but I thought Wilfred Wop May was more entertaining.

List a holiday (if any)

  1. Fête de la Musique in France, Belgium and Switzerland. Okay, so Summer Solstice is the more obvious choice, but I thought this was much cooler.

I approve of my list. It is highly amusing to me, but I am currently in grammar so I might find a barium enema amusing right now. And now I have a new goal for my life: Get my birthday up on the wikipedia list. That would be exciting. Here is my list:
