Lessee…March 2, 1964:

The British Council presents a selection of books on economics and allied subjects to the University Library in Valletta.

Ohhh! How exciting!
(And, yeah, that does make me 40 today :eek: )

February 4, 1962:

The dawning of the Age of Aquarius!

From this site:

*On February 4, 1962, the Sun, the Moon, and all the planets from Mercury to Saturn were clustered within a 17-degree area of the sky. To top it off there was a total eclipse of the Sun! Doom seemed certain to many astrologers and students of Nostradamus.

In the May 1962 issue of the Griffith Observer, astronomer Robert Richardson described the scene in Los Angeles on February 4, 1962:

Weeks beforehand we began getting inquiries [at the Griffith Observatory] from people wanting to know, “What was going to happen? What does it mean?” … Sunday, February 4 [the crowd at the Observatory] must have been the largest since it was opened to the public in 1935. By two o’clock the road leading to and from the observatory was a solid mass of cars lined up bumper-to-bumper for half a mile. One woman was weeping so badly it was hard to understand her. She was practically on the verge of collapse. “I know it’s silly to carry on this way,’ she gasped between sobs, 'but I can’t help myself.” [ref]

Fortunately, nothing happened. There were no severe earthquakes, no devastating floods, no mass destruction. With no planet-wide disaster to spoil the day, millions of onlookers enjoyed the solar eclipse.*

Well, I wouldn’t say nothing happened - I was born. :slight_smile:

Happy birthday **Blonde **!!!

On my birth date…

  • there was an earthquake in the former Yugoslavia
  • Liberace opened The Liberace Museum in Las Vegas
  • Sun Myung Moon was giving a speech at the Belvedere Hotel in New York

I think these were the signs spoken of in prophecy to mark the end of all mankind.

Man, cool people died: Maria Callas & Marc Bolan ( T-Rex ).
A Russian mail order beauty, Tatyana, is for sale. She has golden hair, and she’s a doctor.
Wait. That’s me.

Kiiddin.

“28th of July 1966”

It was a big day for England: England in World Cup; 70 year-old Florence Nagle won a 20 year fight to be the first woman in Britain granted a licence to train racehorses; Brighton is the first English town to get ‘yellow pages’.

No mention of me, though. :confused:

29th of January 1963 - Robert Frost finally slept.

Happy Birthday!

Positive news:

On October 1st, 1958, the US Congress established the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

Sad news:

On October 1st, 1958, a PBY-5 amphibious a/c , the Blue Goose-Blue Swan, was declared missing in a flight over the Formosa Straits. Carrying 4 US servicemen and 7 other personnel, it flew into a ‘no radar’ zone and never returned. The USG has never acknowledged these men, nor has the USG honored them for the ultimate sacrifice they made for the cause of Freedom. In doing so, these men can be appropriately added to the list of POW/MIA.

It’s my birthday today too!!

Happy Birthday Blonde!

I’m 36 today - 2 March 1968

On my date of birth, the following happened:

49 members of Co C 4th Bn 9th Infantry of the 25th Infantry Division gave all they had to give in service to their country :frowning:

In fact, a very bad day in Vietnam from the number of hits relating to this date.

Fifth test flight of Soviet “L-3” complex, first partially successful flight under the program of a fly-around of Moon (read - didn’t make it out of Earth’s atmosphere)

Nobody famous was born on that day. Except me. I’m famous, right? What?

October 11 1973

  • Finnish long distance runner Paavo “The Flying Finn” Nurmi is buried
  • The Rolling Stones played in Essen, Germany.
  • Elvis and Priscilla’s divorce final.

IMDB lists a bunch of unknown actors born on the same day as me. One of them is a porn star though (Measuring 34DD-23-33 according to the IMDB bio page).

Talk about boring.

My date got 1 hit on Google. It was buried in a court case called “BUNTIN v. STATE” from Oklahoma in 1965.

“Patricia Buntin testified that she met the deceased in the summer of 1960 and that she had slipped out to date him without her parent’s consent on numerous occasions, but that her parents had found out. She testified that when she became fifteen her parents permitted her to date the deceased and that he was a frequent visitor in their home until December 1961. Thereafter, that they dated less frequently and she dated other boys. She testified that she had last communicated with the deceased on Sunday, the 18th of March, 1962, at which time she advised him that she did not want to see him again.”

Even searching other combinations shows that nothing what-so-ever of note happened on the day I was born.

Alberta, Canada, narrowly avoided total annihilation on my birthday (August 10, 1972):

from this site.

I definitely think this signifies something - maybe I’m a saviour? :slight_smile:

Oh, God, the Veronica people. I remember them well, having grown up very near Flushing Meadows Park, where the Virgin allegedly appeard to Veronica Luekens (is that right?). I mean, Fatima and Lourdes are one thing, but am I really supposed to believe that Mary appeared in Flushing Meadows? I used to buy pot in Flushing Meadows, for God’s sake.

On my birthday, December 18, 1959, nothing of note happened, except that apparently a lot of very nice Russian women interested in marrying American men were born.

“2nd of November 1969” got a hit from some lease case that went all the way to the Supreme Court of Nigeria. And two Russian brides. w00t.

“November 2, 1969” yields:

-the birthdate of Japanese supermodel Kyoko Fukada (who?), “Survivor” contestant Gervase Peterson (who?!), and Reginald “Fieldy Snutz” Avizu, bassist of Korn (I know the band, anyway)

-the NFL record of 12 touchdowns passed in one game (6 each by Billy Kramer of the Saints and Charlie Johnson of the Rams)

-gossip columnist Stephen Brandt, friend of Manson victim Sharon Tate, regains consciousness after a suicide attempt

-a Grateful Dead show at the Family Dog in San Francisco (here’s the set list; which these people apparently have on tape. Maybe I should get a copy! Apparently the version of “Dark Star” played here got rave critical reviews.)

-The Band played “Up on Cripple Creek” on the Ed Sullivan Show photostills

-Ike and Tina Turner, and Alice Cooper, played the Fillmore West (Here’s a poster).

-Numerous Vietnam casualties

-Velvet Underground finishes up a five-day stay at Whisky a gogo

-Ray Bradbury’s “Inspired Chicken Motel” first published in West (RealityChuck, this one any good?)

-Yasser Arafat agreed to a cease-fire between Al Fatah organizations and the Lebanese army, and reduced Palestinian guerrilla activities on Lebanese soil.

-The Who played in the McDonough Gymnasium at Georgetown University. Hey cool!

-photographer Richard Avedon took a couple rough-looking photographs of Igor Stravinsky

-Miles Davis played a session at Ronnie Scott’s club in London

-Led Zeppelin played the O’Keefe Center in Toronto

Looking up “November 2nd 1969”, I find:

-Duke Ellington played the Tivoli’s Concert Hall

-the Hilton Addis Ababa officially opened

Quite a busy day, and a musical one too.

Happy Birthday to us!

May 10, 1969

Soldiers from Firebase Blaze lifted off as part of Operation Apache Snow near Dong Ap Bia in Vietnam.

British band Magna Carta was formed.

Netherlands footballer Dennis “The Iceman” Bergkamp was born.

Three absurdly unattractive women were born in Russia who would all end up as mail order brides.

30th of November, 1975

Hmm. I got a Russian bride, too.

One of the Miss Saigons was born on the same day.

Nothing exciting, which is a pity because I’m pretty sure Winston Churchill shares my b-day.
