Birthday MeMe

Do you want to know who shares your birthday? Or what important events happened on your birthday? I’ve got the right MeMe for you!

Go type in your birthday in Wikipedia (month and day). Write down three events, 2 births, 1 holiday and tag 5 friends.

My birthday's on 15th Sept. Is it a very important date? Well, check it out!

3 events
1) 1949 - The television series The Lone Ranger premieres on ABC
2) 1975 - Progressive Rock artists Pink Floyd release Wish You Were Here
3) 1982 - The first issue of USA Today is published by Gannett

2 Births
1) 1254 - Marco Polo, Italian explorer
2) 1890- Agatha Christie, English writer
(Maybe that's why I share similar interests with them)

1 Holiday
Persia - New Year's Day
(That's a good reason to celebrate my birthday!)

Anyway, if you’re tagged by me, please slot yourself right on the last slot and bump everyone up. And the list: Are We There Yet?, Gran’s Memory Keeping Corner, Teacher Julie, Mommyness is Happiness, This is a miracle, Blur Ting
