Funny that you say that, my birthday, August 2nd, is the day that Hitler became Fuhrer of Germany.Necron_warrior said:
It was also the day that the Declaration of Independence was signed (contrary to popular belief, it was not actually signed on July 4th.)
A couple I found particularly interesting about May 22:
1) "1980 ? Namco releases the highly influential arcade game Pac-Man." (because its freakin' Pac-Man)
2) "2002 ? In Washington, D.C., the remains of the missing Chandra Levy are found in Rock Creek Park." (because I'm from the DC area and this was a huge deal, so I'm surprised I didn't realize it was on my birthday...)
3) Harvey Milk was born in 1930 and Victor Hugo died in 1885

Hrm, well, I wont say what day buuuut. On my birthday (provided it doesnt fall on a sunday) all the banks and post offices close for the day in the state I was born and reside in. So I guess its pretty cool, except if I want to do in office banking or pick up my mail on my birthday. Yeah, actually kinda sucks.
Mine is the 13th and it was quite fun sharing the cake I had in my lunch box to the other children while the teachers were all talking in hushed voices about how terrible it was. I was quite happyDugMachine said:
