Birthday trivia

I'm going to hop on Kelvin's bandwagon again: "Go to Wikipedia and look up your birthday (excluding the year). List three neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the years."

3 neat facts (or rather, events)
1938 - Orson Welles broadcasts his radio play of H. G. Wells's The War of the Worlds, causing a nationwide panic.
1966 - The Zodiac killer kills his first victim, 18-year old Cheri Jo Bates, in Riverside, California.
1983 - The first democratic elections in Argentina after seven years of military rule are held.

2 births
1735 - John Adams, American revolutionary leader and President of the United States (d. 1826)
1893 - Charles Atlas, Italian-born bodybuilder (d. 1972)

1 death
1975 - Gustav Ludwig Hertz, German physicist, Nobel Prize laureate (b. 1887)

I have to mention this one too: Annual event
USA - Mischief Night in some areas (known as Devil's Night in Detroit)

Plus, I was born at 6.05pm, which was the regular time cartoons were shown on TV at the time. So I was born on Halloween's eve at cartoon time. What does imply about me?
