Go to Wikipedia and look up your birthday (excluding the year). List three neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year.
Facts:
1770 - Boston Massacre: Five Americans, including Crispus Attucks, are killed by British troops in an event that would help start the American Revolutionary War five years later.

Births:
1908 - Sir Rex Harrison, English actor
1936 - Canaan Banana, first President of Zimbabwe
Death:

There were a lot of good deaths, actually, but how could I have chosen any other?
