February 26

Among some other events, this was the day of the first attack on the world trade center. Not only was that my birthday, it was the day I was born. It's also the day Napoleon Bonaparte escaped from Elba in 1815.

I also share a birthday with Johann Sebastian Bach, Victor Hugo, and Johnny Cash.

Obviously there are more, but I'm too lazy to post more.

Mine is September 20th and I remember when 9/11 happened... pretty awkward birthday i'll tell you what.
Lol, just imagine how the people who had birthday on 9/11 felt.
Have a friend who's birthday is 9/11. Needless to say, he doesn't celebrate his birthday either lol
9/11 was my dad's 40th birthday. Bit of a downer. But we celebrate it. It is a little odd though.

As for me, July 6. I share a birthday with George W. Bush (damn), 50 Cent (damn), Sylvester Stallone (meh), and Geoffrey Rush (Woot). Other things of note: the executions of Jan Hus and Thomas More, the coronations of Richards I and III of England, the death of Louis Armstrong, and the day the AK-47 went into production.

September 1st. The day the Nazis invaded Poland, thus beginning the Second World War. Not exactly a positive aspect, but hey it's history.
Same here. Born September 1st.

Also:
King Louis XIV dies after 72 years of reigning
The Boston Subway opens
The Great Kanto Earthquake
Muammar al-Gaddafi comes to power after a coup in Lybia
RMS Titanic is found

And apparently it is the first day of school for the Americas(North and South America) which is strange seeing as school starts for me in August.

I was born on May 20th. It seems as though lots of stuff happened on my birthday..
Some of the stuff I found interesting:

1609 ? Shakespeare's sonnets are first published in London, perhaps illicitly, by the publisher Thomas Thorpe.
1813 ? Napoleon Bonaparte leads his French troops into the Battle of Bautzen in Saxony, Germany, against the combined armies of Russia and Prussia. The battle ends the next day with a French victory.
1969 ? The Battle of Hamburger Hill in Vietnam ends.
1996 ? Gay rights: The Supreme Court of the United States rules in Romer v. Evans against a law that would have prevented any city, town or county in the state of Colorado from taking any legislative, executive, or judicial action to protect the rights of gays and lesbians.

Well, I share birthday with Ethan Coen, H.G. Wells, a bunch of Nobel Price winners laureates and. . . shitloads of others. Also, it's the international day of peace, which is funny considering I hold the opinion that we've spent too long without any real war, which has led to stupid fixations of the superfluous and superficial, as seen by looking at most stuff being sold today, with a bigger focus on looks than functions, and the likes.

And yea, I actually knew that without Wikipedia. But after looking at the list of stuff that has happened the 21st of September, I decided that it was too much to read.

December 1st 1990, I can't seem to find much that I find all that interesting.
Well, I was born, and that's probably the best thing to ever happen to the world.
