Weekend Meme: Birthday Meme

It's great to have friends. For the past three days, my friends had took me to lunch and dinner and I didn't have to lift a finger to cook. Having people around as moral support do the soul some good.

As my recuperating act, I found this birthday meme that's the easiest one I've done for a while. No 20-50 questions meme. Just simple fact finding missions. The instruction is simple, just go to wikipedia and look up your birthdate and list 4 events, 3 births, 2 deaths, and 1 holiday that happened on that date.

Here are mine:

EVENTS
1840 – The Province of Canada is created by the Act of Union.
1903 – The Ford Motor Company sells its first car.
1967 – 12th Street Riot: In Detroit, Michigan, one of the worst riots in United States history begins on 12th Street in the predominantly African American inner city (43 killed, 342 injured and 1,400 buildings burned).
1984 – Vanessa Williams becomes the first Miss America to resign when she surrenders her crown after nude photos of her appeared in Penthouse magazine.
