Wikipedia Meme
I’m way behind on my blogging due to my mini-vacation this last weekend but I saw this on Jules blog and thought it was cool enough to write about. It’s amazing what I don’t know where my birthdate is concerned. But there’s some cool events and people I recognize that I share a birthday with.
- Go to Wikipedia and type in your birthday (month and day).
- Blog 3 events, 2 births, 1 holiday and tag 5 friends.
May 29
Three events that happened on this day:

One holiday:

There was a lot to choose from and I picked what seemed coolest to me. I’m not going to tag anyone because that’s a pain in my butt so if you want to do this go for it, just leave a note in my comments so I can go read it. [Edit: And no, I didn’t break the tag because I wasn’t tagged to begin with, Kat broke it<-points finger at Kat ;P]
