Ok, go to google.com and type in your birthday in parenthesis and respond with the first thing that comes up. For instance, my birthday is August 1, 1983. so I would type in "August 1, 1983" then search. The first thing that comes up is.. "New Zealand score their 1st Test Cricket match victory in England"
I just thought it would be fun to see what happened in history on your birthday! =)

Well, this was interesting and the article that I read was interesting. I am going to have my kids do this as part of a history assignment for school as I home school. Anyway, I done mine and the first thing to show up was Israel's Decision to go to war.

Okay, sounds just crazy enough that I'll give it a shot. And mine says:
Born:
Frank Milton "Pete" Higgins II, VP, Microsoft Desktop
Hm... given that I'm adopted, maybe he is my long lost twin brother? Think he could help his sister out with some moolah!

I haven't tried this just yet for I am uploading pictures into my online shop, and it is taking quite some time doing so. But then I have to comment on the discussion that I thought it was a very interesting idea to do so. Great thinking!

Mine came up with a page out of Eleanor Roosevelt's diary - about someone she talked to that day.
