Look, a meme! But this one is interesting

[mandragora]

to me, anyway. I've enjoyed seeing other peoples' entries.

Go to Wikipedia and look up your birth day (excluding the year). List three facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year

Events:
41 - After a night of negotiation, Claudius is accepted as Roman Emperor by the Senate.
1533 - Henry VIII of England secretly marries his second wife Anne Boleyn.
1919 - The League of Nations is founded.

Births:
1759 - Robert Burns, Scottish poet (d. 1796) Okay, so that one is obvious
1882 - Virginia Woolf, English writer (d. 1941)

Deaths:
1947 - Al Capone, American gangster (b. 1899)

Hee! Rabbie Burns is a wee bitty obvious, aye...

Yeah. But tragically I've never celebrated Burn's Night per se. One of these days I'll troop up to Scotland for my - and his - birthday.

The League of Nations, Henry VIII, *and* Al Capone. Wow, I'm impressed.

*preens proudly* Well yeah, 'cos I had so much to do with them all! *g*

Actually, there were loads more - the difficulty was deciding what to pick. Seems like other people have had the same difficulty - I've noticed lots of cheating going on. *bg*
