Happy Birthday

Well, I guess if you call this exciting…The Truman Doctrine was proclaimed to help stem the spread of Communism on March 12, 1947.

Does that count? I don't think so. :)

Well, at least it's not something bad, like Hitler's birthday or something!

Uh, yeah, you're right. If it was, I don't think I'd be posting about it :)

On my birthday in 565, Saint Columba reported seeing a strange monster in the Loch River in Scotland…I guess I came by my fascination in cryptids naturally! :-D

Lol

Yeah…Shostakovitch is a composer. :)
I share a birthday with my pastor :D

Soooo… is your pastor famous??? ;) J/K

YES!!!!!!!!!!!! :P jk

I share my birthday with Nancy Hanks Lincoln ( Abraham Lincoln's mother) ,John Witherspoon (signer of Declaration) & D.L. Moody ( famous Evangelist). February 5th is a great birthday:)

Wow!

I was born on the exact same day that my pastor and his wife were married: May 15, 1998! :)

On my birthday, Texas became a state, Charles Goodyear (the inventor of Goodyear Tires) was born, the Massacre of Wounded Knee was fought, the first YMCA in America was opened, and Ireland became a nation. December 29th is awesome. :)

Which is 129 days after my birthday!

I share the same birthday (day and year) as the girl that I sponser through Compassion International; she's obviously not famous, but she's my sponser, so I think it's pretty neat :)

Okaaaay… Is that somehow significant?? :P (@Sam, not Rosie)

Anyway, I just looked up my birthday and found this:

1618–Johannes Kepler confirms his previously rejected discovery of the third law of planetary motion.
1701–The War of the Spanish Succession begins.
1718–James Puckle, a London lawyer, patents the world's first machine gun.

1836–Francis Baily observes "Baily's beads" during an annular eclipse.
1869–In New York, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton form the National Women Suffrage Association.
1905–Las Vegas, Nevada, is founded when 110 acres, in what would later become downtown, are auctioned off.
1928–Mickey Mouse premiers in his first cartoon, Plane Crazy.
1940–McDonald's opens its first restaurant in San Bernardino, California.
1958–The Soviet Union launches Sputnik 3.
1960–The Soviet Union launches Sputnik 4.
1988–After more than eight years of fighting, the Red Army (Soviet Union) begins its withdrawal from Afghanistan.
2010–Jessica Watson becomes the youngest person to sail, non-stop and unassisted, around the world solo.

Pretty cool, huh? :D

glares In the same year that THIS ninja was born dude! Is that or is that not significant?!?

Uh… sure… :P Hey, if you can come up with something cool on Wikipedia like I did, maybe I'll agree with you that your birthday is significant! ;D

When I typed in my Birthdate, a very long list popped up! :) But I'll just put a few up, which i thought were interesting!

1788 – Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart completes his Symphony No. 40 in G minor (K550).

1837 – The first commercial use of an electrical telegraph is successfully demonstrated by William Cooke and Charles Wheatstone on July 25, 1837 between Euston and Camden Town in London.

January 16, 1939 "Comic strip ""Superman"" debuts"
