Swiped from [livejournal.com profile] rolanni

Go to Wikipedia and look up your birth day (excluding the year). List three neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year. However, [livejournal.com profile] rolanni did three of each, and being Welsh, I shall follow suit.

1595 - William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet is probably first performed.
1891 - Liliuokalani is proclaimed Queen of Hawaii, its last monarch.
1929 - The Seeing Eye Dog organization is formed.
