Wikipedia meme

From lots of people.

Go to Wikipedia and look up your birthday (excluding the year). List three neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year.

Facts:
1770 - Boston Massacre: Five Americans, including Crispus Attucks, are killed by British troops in an event that would help start the American Revolutionary War five years later.
1868 - A court of impeachment is organized in the United States Senate to hear charges against President Andrew Johnson.
1979 - Voyager 1's closest approach to Jupiter, 172000 miles.

Births:
1908 - Sir Rex Harrison, English actor
1936 - Canaan Banana, first President of Zimbabwe

Death:
1953 - Joseph Stalin, Georgian leader of the Soviet Union

There were a lot of good deaths, actually, but how could I have chosen any other?

I just love the name Canaan Banana!
