I saw this over at my friend's site, Wondering Why, as well as many other sites on the net:
Go to Wikipedia. Type in your birth date (but not year). List three events that happened on your birthday. List two important birthdays and one interesting death. Post this in your journal.
September 11 is the 254th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (255th in leap years). There are 111 days remaining. The terms "September 11", "11th September", and "9/11" have been widely used in the Western media as a shorthand for the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and The Pentagon in the United States of America.
Three events:
1944 - World War II: the first allied troops of the US Army cross the western border of Nazi Germany. The RAF bombing raid on Darmstadt and the following firestorm kill 11,500.
1970 - The Ford Pinto is introduced.
2001 - The September 11 attacks destroy the World Trade Center in New York City, part of The Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and crash a passenger airliner in Pennsylvania. In total, almost 3,000 are killed.
Two Birthdays:
1967 - Harry Connick, Jr., American singer
1981 - Dylan Klebold, American mass murderer (d. 1999)
One Death:
2003 - John Ritter, American actor (b. 1948)
Wow, that was hard to pick out just a few things. I can't believe that in addition to the 9/11 Terrorists attacks, I also share a birthday with Columbine gunman Dylan Klebold. Lucky me. I had to pick the Ford Pinto one since that was my very first car.
