Ha ha! Well, I admit, it's a little light on for famous people...but Anna Pavlova (who was the inspiration for that delectible dessert) did die on that date! :-)
Think I might have to try this one!
You're a big fibber... you had lots of interesting if questionable people with birthdays and deathdays...
Rebekah Elmaloglou, Tiffani Thiessen, Princess Caroline of Monaco, Richard Dean Anderson... c'mon Macguyver!
And Johnny Carson died on your birthday... and Salvador Dalí!
You just weren't trying hard enough :P
I already had this meme on my list, I'm just saving it for my birthday next year :)
Ooh, this meme sounds cool. Mind if I nick the concept from ya? Only just read a couple of your posts, but your birthdate seems aligned with your love of the outdoors given it's equated with the largest earthquake in history and a volcano? Not sure where the Java programming comes in.
