Go to http://en.wikipedia.org and look up your birth day (excluding the year). List three neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year.

1279 - A Mongolian victory in the Battle of Yamen ends the Song Dynasty in China.

1915 - Pluto is photographed for the first time but was not recognized as a planet.

1981 - Three workers are killed and five injured during a test of the Space Shuttle Columbia.

1848 - born: Wyatt Earp, American policeman and gunfighter (d. 1929)

1964 - born: Yoko Kanno, Japanese composer

1950 - died: Edgar Rice Burroughs, American author (b. 1875)

So Yoko Kanno is exactly one decade older than I am, neat!
