Yes, it's another meme. A shorty this time. No embarassing questions, just your birthdate. You don't even need the year.
From DawnMarie who found it at Northernbound.
Search your birthday minus the year at Wikipedia and list 3 events, 2 births, and one death. If you google your birth date, Wikipedia should be the first entry. It was when I did it.
Here's mine:

April 19
Events:
Bridget Bishop witchcraft trial - Salem, MA 1692
Battle of Lexington & Concord - 1775 (still a state holiday in Massachusetts, I believe). It's Patriot's day. (See below)

I did know about Mariska Hargitay. Does anyone else think she is just gorgeous? I love her short, perfect hair and gorgeous brown eyes.
This was fun, Gran. Thanks.
April 19 is also Jared's birthday. Same year as you, I think? Sad that such an amazing actor as Tim Curry will only be remembered for the RHPS. Anyway, short on time, have a lot to catch up on, but gotta run. Good Yontif!
