Wiki Meme
Way back, well sorta way back, the ever talented Wylie tagged me for a meme, the Wikipedia, birthday meme. I waited until Wyles came back to do it. But, this is helpful though because it means you will all know when my birthday is.
The rules, go to Wikipedia.org, type in your birthday in the search box, then list 3 events, two births and one holidy. Then tag some other folks.
My Birthday is October 5!
3 Events
1.1789 - French Revolution: Parisian women march to Versailles in the March on Versailles to confront Louis XVI about his refusal to promulgate the decrees on the abolition of feudalism, demand bread, and have the King and his court moved to Paris.
2.1953 - Earl Warren is sworn in as the 14th Chief Justice of the United States
3.2001 - Barry Bonds of the San Francisco Giants set a new mark for home runs in a single season, hitting his 71st and 72nd in a loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Up All Night! Now I have the Rat's stuck in my head :P
Now every time I eat at McDonalds or hear I Don't Like Mondays, I'm gonna think of you Sparky!
Ah yes, I know the event very well involving Mr. Bonds as it was the night before my wedding and we (the guys) were bar-hopping through downtown Orlando and saw the record-breaker as it happened (while at a martini bar).
and, credit where do, Mr. Geldolf also was the brains behind Band Aid ("Do they know it's Christmas") and Live Aid, during which Phil Collins performed concerts on BOTH sides of the Atlantic on the same day, icluding the one in Philly at RFK stadium.
julia: Then, Gino Marchetti would be a national icon...and I'd have a much harder financial burden in my retirement.
And yes, I did find it interesting. :)
