on Feb 2 1975, Ethiopian troops massacred 103 civilians in the village of Woki Duba, after driving Eritrean rebels from the town. So I guess i could be one of those masscred?
Apparently I wasn’t anyone famous.
We’ll say I was Doreen Schmutter of Nicholasville, KY, grandmother of seven and terrible amateur painter, who died in a freak clothesline accident. Prove me wrong.
This Website gives the week you were possibly conceived as well as the #1 song, and #1 movie playing.
Under the song title it says, “Maybe your parents were listening to this song while you were conceived?” and under the movie title it says, “Maybe this movie got your parents in the mood to conceive you?”
The song playing while I was being conceived? “Alone Again (Naturally)” by Gilbert O’Sullivan :dubious:
The movie? “Deliverance” :eek:
As for my previous life, I can choose between two composers, one Jazz saxophonist, and one author and journalist. I’ll choose the last one.
Jacques Gans, Dutch author and journalist
I think there is some soulsplitting sometimes. It is all very mysterious. But I can attest that as a teenager I was filled with frustration and desire just like the themes of Eddie Cochran’s music. Also Eddie Cochran was popular in the late fifties and my age now is late-fifties. At some point you have to consider that maybe something more is going on here than mere coincidence.
John Brunner’s 1967 short story the Vita-Nulls addresses the issue of what happens when human bodies exceeds the number of available souls.
I was born 2 months early, so the conception date would have been May 25, 1954. The only person who died that day was Robert Capa
Whoops, I was off by a month. Well, I’ve never claimed to be able to math.
Looks like I was either “Jack Kiefer, 57, American mathematician, statistician, and pioneer of optimal design”, or “Dušan Popov, 79, Serbian-born Nazi spy who became a double agent for British intelligence”.
Unless I was exactly nine months, in which case I was “Melvyn Douglas, 80, American film actor, winner of two Oscars”.
My grandfather died right around the time I was conceived. My daughter was conceived the same day my mother died. I’m kinda worried what might happen when my daughter conceives… :eek:
I was soviet astrophysicist Iosif Shklovsky. Hmm, interested in space and wrote a book called Five Billion Vodka Bottles to the Moon… seems reasonable.
For me, the song was “Cathy’s Clown” by The Everly Brothers and the movie was Disney’s Pollyanna. Thanks for the horrifying visual of my parents bumping uglies to those.
By the “subtract nine months from your birthdate” method, I was Admiral Oscar C. Badger II, who was the first U.S. Navy officer to set foot on Japanese soil after World War II. He died on November 30, 1958.
According to the “When Was I Conceived?” site, the No. 1 song during my window of conception was “To Know Him Is to Love Him”, while the top film was Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
Apparently I’m Wally Cox, voice of Underdog and former roommate and friend of Marlon Brando. We’re both from Detroit. He died young… 48… that’s only two years away from me. gulp
“There’s no need to fear…”
