Courtney P.K.

I debated succumbing to another meme, but this one is informative! (found via Cygnoir)

1. Go to Wikipedia.
2. In the Search box, type your birth month and day (but not year).
3. List three events that happened on your birthday.
4. List two important birthdays and one interesting death.
5. Post it.

My birthday is 27 September.

Three events:

• 1821 - Mexico gains its independence from Spain.
• 1822 - Jean-François Champollion announces that he has deciphered the Rosetta stone.
• 1998 - Google is first established

Two important births:

• 1840 - Thomas Nast, German-born political cartoonist (d. 1902)
• 1934 - Wilford Brimley, American actor (heh)

One interesting death:

• 1917 - Edgar Degas, French painter (b. 1834)

I ain’t taggin' anyone, so tag yourself. :P
