A new meme, to brighten our morning.

The idea comes from Matt Murrell. Go to Wikipedia, and type in your birth day and month, but not the year. List: three events, two important birthdays (other than your own, I suppose), one death, and one holiday or observance (if any). So, here goes.

Born on my birthday:
1908: Rex Harrison
1922: Pier Paolo Pasolini

Happened on my birthday:
363 – Roman Emperor Julian moves from Antioch with an army of 90,000 to attack the Sassanid Empire, in a campaign which will bring to his own death.
1046 – Naser Khosrow begins the seven-year Middle Eastern journey which he will later describe in his book Safarnameh.
1496 – England King Henry VII issued letters patent to John Cabot and his sons, authorizing them to discover of unknown lands.

One death:
1534: Correggio

One holiday:
Learn from Lei Feng Day
