Wikipedia

Dear Me,

I am really having a fun time browsing through Wikipedia. It is such an interesting site. Isn't it? It is an online encyclopedia. =)

Why don't you try this out?

Go to Wikipedia and put in your birthdate (not the year) and then list 3 events, 2 birthdays and 1 death.

Here's mine. I chose to list down dates and events which I found interesting (at least for me).


3 Events:

1999 - In Milan, Italy, after 22 years of restoration work, Leonardo da Vinci's newly-restored masterpiece "The Last Supper" is put back on display.

1961 - Peter Benenson's article "The Forgotten Prisoners" is published in several internationally read newspapers. This will later be thought of as the founding of the human rights organization, Amnesty International.

1937 - The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California, is officially opened by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in Washington, DC, who pushes a button signaling the start of vehicle traffic over the span.

It is supposed to be three only but I want to add this one:

1503 - James IV of Scotland and Margaret Tudor are married by Pope Alexander VI according to Papal Bull.


2 Birthdays:

1944 - Rudy Giuliani, Mayor of New York City

1908 - Ian Fleming, English author (d. 1964)


1 Death:

1916 - Ivan Franko, Ukrainian writer (b. 1856)

I included a number of links just in case somebody gets curious. =)
