The Birthday Meme

Yanked from kalkail:

Since everybody's birthday seems to be so close to one another lately. Mine's on April 15.

Go to Wikipedia and look up your birth day (excluding the year). List at least three events, three births, three deaths, and up to three observances or holidays on your birthday in your journal.

Events -
1783 - Preliminary articles of peace ending Revolutionary War ratified.
1865 - Abraham Lincoln dies after being shot the previous evening by John Wilkes Booth.
1912 - The British passenger liner RMS Titanic sinks at about 2:20 a.m. after hitting an iceberg in the North Atlantic almost three hours earlier.
1923 - Insulin first became generally available for use by diabetics.
1945 - The Bergen-Belsen concentration camp is liberated.
...peace, tragedy, and liberation...

Births
1452 - Leonardo da Vinci, Italian artist (d. 1519)
1912 - Kim Il Sung, President of North Korea (d. 1994)
1954 - Seka, American actress
...a genius, a tyrant, and a porn star...

Deaths
1843 - Noah Webster, American lexicographer (b. 1758)
1998 - Pol Pot, Cambodian dictator (b. 1925)
2000 - Edward Gorey, American illustrator (b. 1925)
2001 - Joey Ramone, American musician and singer (The Ramones) (b. 1951)
...the death of words, brutality, and art...

Observances
In the United States, today is the official deadline for filing tax returns: all forms mailed to the IRS must be postmarked no later than today, so post offices across the country stay open until midnight to accommodate procrastinators (or those who owe tax and want to wait as late as possible to pay). (If this day falls on the weekend, as in 2006, the following Monday becomes the deadline.)
Feast day of Saint Paternus
Roman Empire — the Fordicia was celebrated in honor of Terra
...taxes, penance in solitude, and gaea...

девушки

Приветствую всех

Москва.

Здесь надо посетить одиночкам разного возраста, пола и ориентации,как девушки так и [url=http://www.mashki.ru/rules.php]транссексуалы[/url]. Москва – город положительной нравственной и сексуальной свободы,желаете девочку - пожалуйста,хотите что то пикантное - транссексуалы к вашим услугам. Проституция не легализована,но это не мешает ей развиваться.Все [url=http://www.mashki.ru/rules.php]проститутки москвы[/url] максимально здоровы и имеют привычку зачастую проверятся, так что шанс подцепить что-нибудь на память минимален.

С уважением ваш друг Николай
