Go to Wikipedia and look up your birthday (excluding the year). List three neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year.

Three facts
558 – In Constantinople, the dome of the Hagia Sophia collapses. Justinian I immediately orders that the dome be rebuilt.
I just included this because I CLIMBED THAT thing. When it was still a mosque, I think...Aww, Assassin's Creed

1429 - Joan of Arc ends the Siege of Orléans, pulling an arrow from her own shoulder and returning, wounded, to lead the final charge. The victory marks a turning point in the Hundred Years' War.
Well if that isn't the effing epitome of awesome... great job, Lady! Apart from the burning-part of course...

1945 - World War II: General Alfred Jodl signs unconditional surrender terms at Reims, France, ending Germany's participation in the war. The document takes effect the next day.
This being my birthday helped me remember the date during my history exam.

Two births

1767 – Princess Frederica Charlotte of Prussia (d. 1820)
Almost the only lady on the list - didn't do much though but she was a very benevolent person

1840 – Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Russian composer (d. 1893)
Jap, that Tchaikovsky... you know "Swan Lake" and the like...

One death

1840 – Caspar David Friedrich, German painter (b. 1774)
Naah, I'm sorry, brah...
