Wikimeme

I've seen this a few places around Blogville, so I thought I'd give it a try, since it seemed interesting.

Instructions:
1. Go to Wikipedia.
2. In the Search box, type your birth month and day (but not year).
3. List three events that happened on your birthday.
4. List two important birthdays and one interesting death.
5. One holiday or observance (if any).
6. Tag 5 more peoples - if you feel like it.

November 24th

Three Events:
  1. 1944 - World War II: Bombing of Tokyo - The first bombing raid against the Japanese capital from the east and by land was made by 88 American aircraft.
  2. 1963 - John F. Kennedy assassination: Alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald is mortally shot by Jack Ruby in Dallas, Texas on live national television.
  3. 1991 - Freddie Mercury, lead singer of Queen, dies of AIDS at age 45.
Two Birthdays:
  1. 1864 - Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, French painter (d. 1901)
  2. 1946 - Ted Bundy, American serial killer (d. 1989)
  3. 1964 - Brad Sherwood, American comedian
One Death:
  1. 2005 - Pat Morita, American actor (b. 1932)
One Holiday:
  1. Teacher's Day in Turkey

It was actually interesting to read what did happen on different years on my birth day.
