Brought to my notice by starcat_jewel, roxikat, and morphy... so far.

Go to Wikipedia and look up your birthday (excluding the year). List
three neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including
the year.

Okay, January 12:

1592 - Titus Andronicus first staged at the Rose Theatre.
1964 - Rebels in Zanzibar begin a revolt and later proclaim a republic.
1966 - Batman the TV series debuts on ABC.

Born on this day:

1893 - Hermann Göring, Nazi official (d. 1946)
1893 - Alfred Rosenberg, Nazi official (d. 1946)

Died on this day:

1777 - Hugh Mercer, American Revolutionary War officer (mortally wounded in battle)

Until I found out about Goering, I thought my birthday was the most insignificant date out of the 365.25. It's still a frontrunner.

Without going to Wikipedia, I know that on the day I was born, there was a major earthquake, a tital wave, and a volcanic explosion. Plus the day itself I was born on was both Good Friday and the first day of Passover. And since I was born at 12:15PM, the first thing I did was demand my lunch :-)
