Fun Fact Friday

Ok, the alliteration is annoying...I'll stop sometime, so sorry.

Uh whatever.

In accordance with the blog Bible, I shall copy ideas from other bloggers (I still need to figure out how to do that crossout line thing that some people use so cleverly...paging Dirk Mancuso, paging Dirk Mancuso)....back on track here...last week DM posted this Wikipedia Fact Birthday thing.

Go to Wikipedia, type in your birth month and day, but not the year...find three events, two people with the same bday, 1 person who died that day, and 1 holiday.
