Ooooh. Shiny distractions.

Apparently this has been going around, and now I want to do it because I looked mine up and some of it's really interesting stuff I've never heard of.

Go to Wikipedia, put in your birthdate (not the year, though), and post three events, two births, and one death that happened on that day.

Events:
1862 -- General Ulysses S. Grant issues General Order No. 11, expelling Jews from Tennessee, Mississippi, and Kentucky.
1967 -- Prime Minister of Australia Harold Holt disappears while swimming near Portsea, Victoria.
1969 -- Project Blue Book: The USAF closes its study of UFOs, stating that sightings were generated as a result of "A mild form of mass hysteria, individuals who fabricate such reports to perpetrate a hoax or seek publicity, psychopathological persons, and misidentification of various conventional objects."

Births (*restrains self from including Hungarian porn star*):
1770 -- (Baptism) Ludwig van Beethoven, German composer (d. 1827)
1906 -- Simo Hayha (with more umlauts), Finnish sniper (d. 2002)

Deaths:
1833 -- Kaspar Hauser, German foundling (b. 1812)
