On the day you were born...

[Strider]

Did anything of semi-importance happen on the day you were born? Try running a search on Google for your birthdate and see what interestin' stuff you can come up with.

For example. . . February 18, 1984. My own birthday.

- Prince Rainier of Monaco met privately with President Reagan.
- Footloose was the number one movie in America.
- Darrell Waltrip won the Goody's 300 at Daytona International Speedway, the first race of the 1984 season.
- The last day of the Sarajevo Winter Olympics was held.
- Bill Bradley has his jersey number 24 retired by the New York Knicks.
- Italy and the Vatican agree to end Roman Catholicism as the state religion.

So what about you? Anything exciting happen?
