Wikipedia-ing Your Birthday

At someone's silly suggestion, I went to wikipedia my birthday. I knew my birthday was the day the bomb was dropped on hiroshima in 1945 (yes my mother never fails to remind what a disaster I am), but there were some other really interesting events and birthdays! Check them out!



  • 1926 - Harry Houdini performs his greatest feat, spending 91 minutes underwater in a sealed tank before escaping.


  • 1984 - Pop star Prince releases Purple Rain, the album which would launch him to superstardom.


  • 1997 - Microsoft buys $150 million worth of shares of financially troubled Apple Computer.


  • 1809 - Alfred Lord Tennyson,the English poet is born.


  • 1911 - Lucille Ball, American actress and comedian is born.


  • 1962 - Michelle Yeoh, Malaysian actress is born.


  • 1982 - Adrianne Curry, American model who won the first America's next top model. Yes the sexy tomboyish one.
