I was born on Chuck Norris's birthday, from the day I found out, I have felt Chuck Norris's essence in me.

It was a Friday
I think Abe Lincoln was also born on February 5th (though probably not in 1988...probably)

According to Wikipedia;

...Earthquake in Pompeii (0062)...Hermitage Museum in St. Petersberg opens to the public (1852)...The U.S. and the U.K. sign a treaty for the Panama Canal (1900)...Worlds first synthetic plastic is created, Bakelite (1909)...The Tybee Bomb (a hydrogen bomb) is lost by the U.S. Air Force off the coast of Savannah GA(1958)...Astronauts land on the Moon as part of the mission, Apollo 14 (1971)...Manuel Noriega is indicted on drug smuggling and money laundering charges.(1988 and, purple because I was born that very day)...

After checking I was wrong: it wasn't Abe who was born on the fifth but his mother, Nancy Hanks who was born in 1784 (204 years before me).

...What the fuck is National Weather-Persons Day?!

June 26 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_26]

In terms of events, not much (that I find particularly exciting)

1942 ? The first flight of the Grumman F6F Hellcat.
1945 ? The United Nations Charter is signed in San Francisco.
1960 ? Madagascar gains its independence from France.

Births

1921 ? Violette Szabo, French WWII secret agent (the one the game "Velvet Assassin" is based on)
1955 ? Mick Jones, British guitarist (The Clash, Big Audio Dynamite)
1968 ? Paolo Maldini, Italian footballer
1970 ? Chris O'Donnell, American actor
1974 ? Derek Jeter, American baseball player (I'm not a baseball fan, but even I've heard of him so I assume he's famous in some respect)
1976 ? Ed Jovanovski, Canadian ice hockey player
1977 ? Kubo Tite, Japanese cartoonist
1980 ? Michael Vick, American football player
1987 ? Samir Nasri, French footballer
