Q: When would these two luminaries ever be mentioned in the same breadth?
A: When discussing the day of my birth, of course!
Got this from Hot Links & Gumbo ( via Cruft)
1. Go to Wikipedia (not to be confused with Wikia, although that's fun, too).
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. List any holidays
6. Post it.
According to the Wiki, April 21 is notable for being the day …
Romulus and Remus founded Rome (753 BC), women in France received the right to vote (1944) and about 100,000 students gathered in Tiananmen Square to commemorate the late Chinese reform leader Hu Yaobang (1989).
2 interesting Births
Two notable Italians: Ludovico Carracci and Tony Danza
1 Death
Nina Simone, American singer and pianist (d. 2003)
If Wiki says these are holidays I guess I believe it... but none of them ever got me out of school.
