Busy birthday post

Goodness, my Flist are starting to double up. Today belongs to nearly the Alpha and Omega of my Flist: agonistes and yendi. [confetti!!]

Tomorrow is the natal anniversary of krazykitkat, and of goblinmoon/sidhe_darkrose, who is an abominable bloggist. *chortle*

So in commemoration, I bring out the cupcake, the ASCII cake, and the WikiBirthday meme I've been infected with by in_the_blue, firedrake_mor and mightygodking:

Go to Wikipedia and look up your birthday. Post three interesting facts/events, two births, and one death that happened on that day, and include the year of each.:

• Events:
  • 1399 - Henry IV is proclaimed King of England.
  
  
  • 1967 - BBC Radio 1 is launched; the BBC's other national radio stations also adopt numeric names. Tony Blackburn presents the first show.
  
  
  • 2005 - The Parliament of Catalonia passes with 120 plus votes and 15 against, the Project of New Catalan Statute of Autonomy, proclaiming in its article 1, "Catalonia is a nation". (YAY, CATALUNYA!!)


• Births:
  • 1952 - Jack Wild, British actor
  
  
  • 1971 - Jenna Elfman, American actress


• Death:
  • 1955 - James Dean dies in a car crash.

...and it's the Feast of St. Jerome.
