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

Three interesting facts:

• 1527 - Spanish and German troops sack Rome; some consider this the end of the Renaissance.
• 1937 - Hindenburg disaster: The German zeppelin Hindenburg catches fire and is destroyed within a minute while attempting to dock at Lakehurst, New Jersey. Thirty-six people are killed.
• 1954 - Roger Bannister becomes the first person to run the mile in under four minutes.

Two births:

• 1758 - Maximilien Robespierre, French Revolutionary
• 1961 - George Clooney, American actor (I wonder if any of his girl-puddle-inducing charm can rub off just by the association....)

One death:

• 1502 - James Tyrrell, alleged murderer of the Princes in the Tower
