This day in history

I saw this meme a couple weeks ago, but it seemed appropriate to wait until today to post my version.

Here's what you do:

1. Go to Wikipedia and type in your Birthday Month and day only.

• April 5

2. List 3 Events that occurred that day.

The earliest on the list of events, and the only one that makes reference to a holiday that is now all about green and beer-drinking:

• 456 - St. Patrick returns to Ireland as a missionary Bishop.

For the science-geek in me:

• 1804 - The first recorded meteorite falls in Possil, Scotland (High Possil Meteorite)

I don’t know how I have never noted this one, but:

• 1994 - Kurt Cobain commits suicide.

3. List 2 important Birthdays.

Because she was a legend:

• 1908 - Bette Davis, American actress (d. 1989)

Because he’s so the opposite of Bette Davis:

• 1964 - Christopher "Kid" Reid, American rapper (Kid 'n Play)

4. List 1 Death.

Because I have enjoyed the Group of Seven since I was less than 1/3 my current age:

• 1974 - A. Y. Jackson, Canadian painter (b. 1882)

5. List a Holiday or Observance. (if any)

In honor or trees:

• Arbor Day in South Korea

6. Tag 5 other bloggers.

No thanks… I’ll just let you play along if you’d like.
