So here's what you do - go to Wikipedia and pop in the date you were born, leave out the year for a broader selection of interesting facts.
Then you post - Three Facts. Two Births. One Death.
FACTS:
1879 - Using a filament of carbonized thread, Thomas Edison tests the first practical electric incandescent light bulb (it lasted 13 1/2 hours before burning out). And where would be if he hadn't done that? Even more in the dark than we are now.
1945 - Argentine military officer and politician Juan Perón married actress Evita. And if they hadn't, then Andrew Lloyd Webber wouldn't have written all those musicals. I leave it to you if this a good thing or a bad thing.
1983 - The metre is defined at the seventeenth General Conference on Weights and Measures in terms of the speed of light as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. I never knew that! LOVE useless useful information.
BIRTHS
1833 - Alfred Nobel, Swedish inventor and founder of the Nobel Prize (d. 1896) Yeah, don't mind this one.
1956 - Carrie Fisher, American actress and writer Great. I share my birthday with Princess Leia.
DEATH
1805 - Horatio Nelson, British admiral (mortally wounded in battle) (b. 1758) Battle of Trafalgar of course. Britain ruled the waves for a century or so as a result, and of course London got Trafalgar Square, and the world got "Kiss me Hardy."
