Wikipedia Spawns a Meme

I just read this on Jules blog and loved it. You put your birth month and day into the search on Wikipedia. It spits out a list of events, births and deaths throughout the years that occurred on your birthday. Here are some of mine, from November 8:

Events:

• 1519 - Hernán Cortés enters Tenochtitlán and Aztec ruler Moctezuma welcomes him with great pomp as would befit a returning god.
• 1793 - In Paris, the French Revolutionary government opens the Louvre to the public as a museum.
• 1960 - U.S. presidential election, 1960: John F. Kennedy is elected over Richard M. Nixon, becoming the youngest man elected to that office. Election day often falls on my birthday, among others, in 1864: Abraham Lincoln is reelected, in 1892: Grover Cleveland is elected, in 1932: Franklin D. Roosevelt defeats Herbert Hoover in a landslide victory, and in 1988: George H. W. Bush is elected.
