Birthday Meme...

I was tagged the other day by Cassandra for a Birthday Meme. I'm not quite sure what it means... as far as I know all you have to do is go to Wikipedia, look up your birthday, and then post 3 events, 2 births, and a holiday. Then you tag 5 friends....well, I'm leaving out that part! So, here goes nothing...

My Birthday: June 8

3 Events:

• 1783 - The volcano Laki, in Iceland, begins an eight-month eruption which kills over 9,000 people and starts a seven-year famine. (lol, thought this was interesting since Erik is really into Iceland...)

• 1912 - Carl Laemmle incorporated Universal Pictures.

• 2004 - First Transit of Venus in this millennium

2 Births:

• 1867 - Frank Lloyd Wright, American architect (d. 1959)

• 1977 - Kanye West, American rapper

1 Holiday:

• World Ocean Day

All in all it was a pretty interesting thing to do since I have never taken the time to research what interesting things have happened on my birthday!
