mr_flay (why, yes, am bored, and still awaiting my 11:30 meeting):
Go to Wikipedia and look up your birth day (excluding the year). List two neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year.
1582 - Due to the implementation of the Gregorian calendar, this day is skipped in Italy, Poland, Portugal and Spain.
1600 - Jacopo Peri's Euridice, the earliest surviving opera, premieres in Florence.
1289 - King Wenceslaus III of Bohemia (d. 1306)
1573 - Henry Wriothesley, 3rd Earl of Southampton, English patron of the theater (d. 1624)
1536 - William Tyndale, English Bible translator (burned at the stake)
I don't mind sharing my birthday with Thor Heyerdahl or Barbara Castle, but David Brin?
