Borrowed from Hippopottoman: Go to Wikipedia and look up your birthday (excluding the year). List three events, two births and one death in your journal, including the year.

Three events:

• 1845 – The rubber band is invented
• 1931 – Nevada legalizes gambling.
• 1950 – University of California, Berkeley researchers announce the creation of element 98, which they name “Californium“.

Two births:

• 1919 – Nat King Cole, American singer (d. 1965)
• 1948 – William Gibson, American-born writer

One death:

• 1853 – Christian Doppler, Austrian physician and mathematician (b. 1803)

(Yeah, I didn’t go for the obvious one here)
