Birthday Meme

[i_kender]

I share my birthday with: Jewel (singer), Drew Carey (comedian), Joan Collins (actor), Seabiscuit (er, horse), Douglas Fairbanks Sr (actor) and Carrie (er, 'star' of Double D Dolls 6)

People who died on my birthday: Owen Hart (wrestler), Heinrich Himmler (Nazi), Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker (crooks and killers), Henrik Ibsen (playwright), John D Rockefeller (industrialist and world's richest man).

According to IMDB, anyway... I'm at work so couldn't investigate in more depth. This has taken up far too much time already.

What about you?

The best site for this game is not imdb, that only covers the acting types. Have you tried Wikipedia? It's much more comprehensive.

On my birthday, June 20th, Jacques Offenbach (Composer), Robert Rodriguez(Director), Xanana Gusmão (President of East Timor) and er... Frank Lampard (Footballer). Also Oxford University was granted its charter in 1214 on the same day.

Deaths, Theodorid (King of the Visigoths, which sounds like a computer game startup company from the 80's), Heinrich Roth (German Sanskrit Scholar) and Vince Foster (Victim of alledged, by Republicans, Clinton Murder/Coverup).

I love the internet. What might take a person many weeks of research now takes less than a minute. 8)

You're right, Wikipedia throws up many more hits! From there I learn that I also share my birthday with The Netherlands (declaring independence from Spain in 1568).
